I only had to disable it once on mine, after going crazy for a while trying to figure out what had messed up my lock screen. Haven't had it try to come back once.

Also stopped it from updating automatically in the play store...

Still enough shenanigans to make me go to another brand with my next phone. I always liked Motorola phones for being fairly stock without a lot of bloat ware, but that time seems to be in the past.
