Have a dataset with 768 rows. Can I mean impute if I only have attributes for half of it?

I'm actually working with the Pima dataset found on Kaggle.

Can I mean impute? Half of the data has all attributes and the other half has missing values type MCAR.

An online source said that mean imputing is recommended for MCAR but since this dataset would fill in so many values, I wonder if that would include bias.

Thank you.

It depends on what you need. Mean/median imputation as a general is a good option.
