I can find it easy enough, but aside from changing the information there, which doesn't seem to be stripping it, I can't see a way to remove it.

Honestly, I'm not sure if it makes a huge difference for Literata since that font appears fine on my H2O.

eta- I've installed Fontforge on my Windows 10 box, not a CLI version but the readme did not specify that it needed to be CLI for Windows. Tried running the batch file, and I keep getting the same error

c:\Program Files (x86)\fontforgebuilds\bin\ffpython.exe: can't open file 'c:\users\mercury': [error 2] No such file or directory
Yeah, for windows and linux at least, the standard fontforge install is fine. As far as stripping PANOSE info in the ff gui, it's a matter of setting the values to 0 (or any) and generate a new font from it.

Are you dragging font files onto the batch file? I must admit the file has not had extensive testing.

To be honest, I'm just about ready to finish retiring this version of the script. I've written a simple wxPython GUI wrapper, and a slightly modified script that I plan on releasing soon under a more generic name.
