I think this is the right way to fully disable this now:

add_filter( 'wpseo_primary_term_taxonomies', '__return_empty_array' );

When using __return_false it drops me a PHP notice in the backend:

Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in /vagrant/public/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-seo/admin/class-primary-term-admin.php on line 189
