This is yet another case where my policy of stripping out unnecessary dependencies has paid off. thunar-volman and kde solid both pull in udisks by default but back in 2017 I started maintaining a fork of the default Gentoo ebuild to eliminate the dependency on udisks. The thunar-volman case is a great example of why Gentoo use flags are useful no only for customizing a system but for security by making it easier to reduce the attack surface by disabling features that upstreams leave enabled by default.
