In VS Code, how can I hide the shortcut hints that appear when all editors are closed?

Is there a way to hide this:

enter image description here

More accurately, it appears when only one editor group is open and it has no editors. It does not appear when there are multiple empty editor groups (which is possible when workbench.editor.closeEmptyGroups is false).

I am doing videos using VS Code and I would like to have an empty startup screen.

This can be disabled with Workbench > Tips: Enabled setting (toggle). Or just add "workbench.tips.enabled": false in settings.json

Not sure if this disables anything else though. This also leaves VS Code logo enabled. User and Workspace Settings Docs says:

When enabled, will show the watermark tips when no editor is open.
