As of libvirt 10.6.0-2, you can simply uninstall the
libvirt-daemon-driver-network and libvirt-daemon-driver-nwfilter
packages if you don't need the functionality they provide.

libvirt-daemon-system itself is just a convenience package now, if
you need more control you can simply manually install the specific
set of libvirt components that are relevant to your use case.
