Can I skip the lock screen on my iPhone completely?

Phone stays at home on a stand most of the time and I'm tired of swiping up and typing a code. Is turning the passcode off the only option, and what do I lose if I do that (Apple Pay etc)?

Not completely. You can turn the passcode off (Settings > Face ID & Passcode > Turn Passcode Off) but you lose Face ID, Apple Pay and some other stuff, and you still swipe up past the lock screen. Better trade-off is Face ID with 'require attention' on, it's basically instant.
