RFR: [11, 10, 8]: Disable evac assist by default until bugfixes arrive

Testing discovered the intermittent bug in evac assist code. I have a bugfix for sh/jdk, currently
in stress testing. Until we get another bunch of backports integrated, it makes sense to disable it
in backport repos. I am going to do this in all backports at once.
