It would be unfortunate if the only other option is sacrificing privacy.

Thankfully, some helpful comments have pointed out to software that are available to trial and seem to strike a balance between usability and privacy.

If the goal is to prevent telemetry, you could use Little Snitch to blacklist all Logitech applications from being able to go online.

That is a good idea! If all the alternatives fall short, this should be the best way forward.
