Found an answer, took me long enough given it was right in front of me the whole time...
On Line 60 in the YAML, you can disable Stats - that probably cuts down 80% of the garbage data in EVE.
You can further disable logging (in EVE) under metadata for DNS, TLS, TCP, HTTP, etc. -- YMMV, but I feel keeping that stuff is fine since you can filter it out using something like Kibana or Splunk readily.
