It was possible to disable them. Whether it still works in Catalina I can't say.
Run this command in the Terminal to disable, then restart your Mac.
defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores true
To re-enable…
defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores false
restart
Put it in your .gitignore file

macOS provides the dot_clean command for that purpose.
Yes they're important as they store all the settings for that folder. But they're invisible and tiny, so why worry about them?

The dot_clean command only deals with dot underbar (._) hidden files and not .DS_Store files.
