I believe the settings to disable this on Librewolf are set by default…

I would not mind if LibreWolf would be based on Firefox ESR (Like Tor and Mullvad browser are). The speed of the amount of new features added to Firefox is something I can do without.

I might be a bit out of the loop but I assumed the LibreWolf team already removes questionable code when building their fork?

Yes. My point was that by using Firefox ESR as base the update cycle would be much slower which I would welcome.

But what would be the benefit of that?
