AFAIK there is no such option.
Though isn't that exactly what log levels are for? If you aren't
interested in the info noise, filter it out. See the journalctl
--priority option.

Ironically, the uninteresting noise you asked to get rid of shows, there
may be some issue with your setup. (Granted, or a deliberate config
decision.)
The --max-conn-per-child default is 200. Your ratio of child status and
spawning new children in the pasted logs is about 2:1. Did you
deliberately set that option to 2?
The prefork child status logs are not only informational, but may also
indicate warnings or even error conditions, e.g. in case you get a
consistent high number of non-idle children.
