That's not Android nagging at an OS level, that's an app you've chosen to use and to which you've chosen to login.

On my phone I receive status-bar notifications a for: new personal e-mail, RSS updates for specific topics, F-droid updates, battery level, storage space critical. The latter two are the only OS notifications I can't seem to suppress.

It doesn't matter that they're not at the os level, they're notifications you'll get on an Android phone as delivered straight from the factory.

I think they should call it 'tech-savvy mode' for users who value concentration, hate distraction, etc.

After all the majority of public (which the sales are aimed at) will enjoy those notifications.

But, software engineering folks who have 'rubbed over' UI's for years time, will probably hate

If the app is built into the OS and considered an essential - its part of the operating system.
