add_action('wp_head',function() { ob_start(function($o) {
return preg_replace('/\n?<.*?yoast seo plugin.*?>/mi','',$o);
}); },~PHP_INT_MAX);

The method seems to be called "debug_mark" in the latest version of Yoast,
So the adapted code of @DennysDionigi working for me on the last version is

/**
 * Disable Yoast's Mark and its version.
 */
add_action( 'template_redirect', function () {
	if ( ! class_exists( '\WPSEO_Frontend' ) ) {
		return;
	}
	$instance = \WPSEO_Frontend::get_instance();
	// make sure, future version of the plugin does not break our site.
	if ( ! method_exists( $instance, 'debug_mark') ) {
		return ;
	}
	// ok, let us remove the love letter.
	remove_action( 'wpseo_head', [ $instance, 'debug_mark' ], 2 );
}, 9999 );

Thanks
