No, you didn't miss anything in the docs.  As you noted, you can 
disable/enable the AMQP events but there currently isn't a way to 
disable bus integration all together.  But, there should be and we will 
include support for this in 2.0.

As for workarounds, I don't see any that don't include hacking the pulp 
code.  Although you don't need the bus integration, would it be 
acceptable to install/start qpidd?  With events disabled, it really wont 
be used for much of anything unless you register consumers.  Even then, 
it's not used much unless you do things like installing packages on 
consumers through the REST API.
