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.
