Technically default-host.log can be disabled in /nginx_proxy_manager/data/nginx/default_host/site.conf
You can comment access_log line and reload nginx proxy manager

HOWEVER I strongly discourage doing this:

You should understand that the point of the default-host.log is to store all access logs for default endpoint. This is exactly what NGINX does
The best way to handle that would be:
a) Logging default-host.log and checking it periodically
b) Blocking connection attempts from parasite IP address / Subnet / Country. The second option cannot be implemented by NPM out of the box.
