With --ytdl-format='bestaudio' there's no need to disable the video track or use the null vo.

Maybe that behavior is Linux-exclusive? Under macOS and Windows, if I only use --ytdl-format='bestaudio/best' with livestreams mpv will spawn a window with the video.
I'm on Windows as well. Just get rid of the 'best' argument for '--ytdl-format'. Also, 'bestaudio' is mostly only known as a keyword for Youtube videos.
