If they want to institute a way to disable on your own client side then I am all for it. But I will not be for the removal of it because I do not like it and want to force others to stop using it.
I guess I do not see the big issue with it, with one click I no longer have to view them.
I would agree with this. Make it optional. People that like them or do not mind them can have them appear.
Personally they don't bother me so much that are tied to other players, I can always go elsewhere...they do bother me when they spawn for me...and it's the only reason I bought an inexpensive non-combat pet
Since the Elachi are tied to that one equipment set, one workaround to avoid generating any yourself would be to swap to a ship that doesn't use that set before entering a social zone like ESD. (Like swapping out the KIDD drone kit for something else before going to Risa.) Disabling the dancing Elachi might require a whole new UI option just for that, or a special item, so I'm not sure how likely it is to happen. (Also, in my experience, the disable visuals option for items with visuals isn't very reliable, it had a habit of turning back on, and I'm not sure if it could be made to work for this.)
Ultimately I think it was an attempt at bringing some light into a dark time, and I don't really have a problem with that. That's very much in the original spirit of Star Trek.

I wish it was this simple. I deleted the whole set from one of my characters, yet the Elachi are still beaming in with me.
Please remove or give us the option to turn these guys off. Summoning a pet works but I shouldn't have to do that while not having the set AT ALL.
