Funnily enough, TeamViewer Support replied with a solution to hide the popup (https://twitter.com/TeamViewer_help/status/14459761128662097...), and later (Original tweet Oct 7, 2021, new tweet Jan 14, 2022) new popups come up anyways: https://twitter.com/linusgsebastian/status/14818556255585894...
Seems the only correct way of using TeamViewer is to uninstall it and never use it again. If you paid "thousands of dollars" for something that doesn't do what it says it'll do when you pay, then you kindly request a refund, otherwise file a complaint with your local commission/bureau/ombudsman.

For anyone seeking alternatives, I found NoMachine[0] to be the closest free remote desktop experience similar to TeamViewer. My criteria was essentially:
- free tier like TeamViewer, but with no nagging
- needed to "feel" fast and responsive like TV, which I wasn't getting with every VNC/RDP flavor
- autoscaling resolution, or the option to have native resolution with "black bars" viewport when window is maximized
- option for shared clipboard (so copy/paste works between machines)
- file drag/drop between machines
The only thing NoMachine doesn't support is automatic tunneling; you need to connect with IP:Port similar to RDP. But I let that slide because all the other TeamViewer-like features were supported.
If your host PC has an NVIDIA GPU, I strongly recommend Moonlight. It's for game streaming, but you can pass it an .exe to enable desktop streaming, and it is much better quality, latency, and bandwidth than any remote desktop experience I have tried. I'm pretty sure you can't use Linux as a host machine though, which really sucks.
There is a moonlight host for linux called Sunshine [1]. Works great on Ubuntu and Arch. Just note that it'll use software encoding unless your nvidia driver is patched to enable NvFBC, using nvlax or nvidia-patch [2]. But for non-gaming use, software encoding is more than sufficient with minimal latency compared to vnc.
