The problem is not only the logs, don't forget the RRD Graphs.

But you can stop and disable rsyslog, this should stop all standard logging.
For RRD you should check the pvestatd service.

But I don't know what side effects it will have.

Huch... the graphs, yes i forget...

Ok, i've disabel rsyslog and log journal only in the memory. Maybe it helps a littel bit.

Check with iotop for I/O heavy services. One service that has not come up is the /etc/pve-fuse-based filesystem pmxcfs that constantly writes, too.

Stop and disable rsyslog and journald

Another way can be to mount /var/log on a other drive.

For example you have another HDD build in you can create an partiton an mount the logs on there. For example your harddrive is /dev/sde.

cfdisk /dev/sde # create a new partition
mkfs.ext4 /dev/sde1
mount /dev/sde1 /var/log1
cp -a /var/log/* /var/log1/.
systemctl stop rsyslog
rm -rf /var/log/*
umount /var/log1
mount /dev/sde1 /var/log
systemctl start rsyslog

Better is to mount the new Loglocation with UUID in fstab.
