I also have reporting off.
No account setup except the Kobo one needed for first setup.

Any idea how to stop it? Is is some sort of analytics reporting I can disable in Calibre (the settings on the Kobo Utilites are a little confusing).

You haven't turned off sync. What you have turned off is an once-a-day automatic full sync. It will sync at other times including just after WiFi is turned for the first time in a while. The only way to stop it is to do some patching.

And there is absolutely nothing in the Kobo Utilities plugin related to syncing. And yes, I'm completely baffled why you think the settings for it are confusing. But, I suppose if you went in with the mistaken idea that it had anything to do with the device syncing to the Kobo server, that would make things hard to understand.
