Is it possible to use pycharm in a lightweight fashion as a simple editor? Sometimes I want to edit a single python file with pycharm and have to load the whole thing. Ok, it's not heavy, but it also ain't fast to load.

No, that's not possible. Most of PyCharm's features require a project to be configured.

His this still the case in 2020?  I would like to edit/debug simple Linux Python based system scripts.

Yes, it is now possible in PyCharm 2020.1, using LightEdit mode, which is used when opening files from the command line: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/pycharm/opening-files-from-command-line.html
