I want to somehow display the speed even if hud_draw is set to 0. Could it be done?

I wouldn't say so. hud_draw set to 0 disables HUD completely, meaning nothing can be shown on it.
And I wished for that years ago too, having a little FPS increase from disabling HUD but still having speed shown. It would be great if possible for sure, but unfortunately, I don't think it is.

lol it sounds like youre looking for a place to live after destroying the whole universe

HUD is disabled, but cl_showfps still does it's job. What is that? Can we replicate that?

[Chihuahuax]

ah you got me, for a moment
Most probably theyre using different 'display system'

Again:

Since we can only display the speedometer using HUD (or print_chat lol), I would say it (speedometer with hud_draw 0) is absolutely impossible
