I'll answer here too for anyone interested. The RFC[1] states that it should be present so that the remote endpoint knows whether or not it is supported. Removing it may effectively remove support. It depends on whether a remote endpoint takes it into account or not when issuing the REFER.

You also can't limit it at that level, because generally for most things you don't know if you are sending or receiving a REFER. The "norefersub" Supported occurs before it happens. You could only limit it globally.
