I've been googling, but haven't come up with a satisfactory answer to the question of how I permanently turn off wifi on a workstation or server (which are *all* hardwired).
I see I can turn wifi off... but I don't know that it's permanent.

wifi on a server?!? never ever seen such a thing.
and any wifi on a desktop workstation that I've ever seen has been on a pci-e card.

No, not that *any* of them have it on, it's that NM is factory-set to try to bring it up. Which is obviously annoying. Having to turn off avahi-daemon is another of my annoyances.

I actually have, for a remote, solar-powered setup where there was no fiber or other infrastructure to the system. Server was a sensor platform. But networking is networking, regardless of the particular layer 1 in use.

I'm running a few workstation setups with USB WiFi NICs. These are again due to some odd infrastructure restrictions where running cable (UTP/ScTP or fiber) was impractical or cost-prohibitive. Or in one case where cable simply could not be run at any price due to not being able to disturb properly encapsulated asbestos.

I know you've brought this up before, though I can't find any instance where you've specifically included the wifi related log entries.
However, on a quick look, I don't see any noise in any logs from CentOS 7 hosts. All of the hosts I've checked use NetworkManager, and NetworkManager-wifi is installed. Have you considered that the noise in your logs is there *because* you're removing NetworkManager components? Maybe set up a test host with a default configuration, make changes individually and slowly, and try to determine at what point the log noise starts.
