Stasis events can be disabled in stasis.conf, I don't know the
ramifications of disabling new exten but varset is fine. Generating the
stasis events is what can be expensive. AMI less so, and AMI itself has
functionality for filtering events you don't want.

Fair warning - things internally depend on snapshots. Disabling them
outright will likely break things.
