Dismissing a tile just pushes it off the home screen. The tiles get put on the screen in response to some event. So, syncing will probably return the recommendations and similar tiles to the home screen.
If you use calibre and my Kobo Utilities plugin, you can use function in it to dismiss the tiles. Plus, it can add a trigger to the database that tries to prevent them from displaying. It isn't perfect as the way some tiles are displayed seems to have changed.
