I tried searching for answers as to why these machines are reaching out to numerous locations despite not using PrusaConnect. Location lookup returns the expected Czech, as well as location across the US. I recently also set a friend up with with an Elegoo printer and that was expectedly noisy as hell, but I was surprised with Prusa being the 'privacy pick'.

For those curious, here's the logs since about midnight, it seemingly doesn't talk during the day.

Yep this is just NTP, nothing nefarious. If you have a "good" router that has an NTP server and can set the related DHCP option, try setting that. The servers it uses might be hardcoded, but I believe it will honor the DHCP lease.
