However it does register unintentional presses regularly.

I concur with this. iTunes has on several occasions simply begun playing without me even touching the keyboard.

After a few weeks with the new MacBook the Touchbar is really the only thing I vehemently dislike about it. I especially dislike that it wants to display the Siri icon despite Siri being disabled on the machine.

You can remove the Siri icon. I did that because I was tired of my Mac constantly asking me if I wanted to enable Siri.

Now I just accidently pause or mute my music instead.

I don't have one so I can't confirm, but I think I remember removing the Siri icon while playing with it at the store.

Like this, maybe? http://www.imore.com/how-customize-control-strip-touch-bar-m...
