You don't disable the turn signal, I don't know what benefit you think a marker really provides. I can't think of a single instance since I started driving where I noticed a car solely based on the marker lights.

Exactly. Amber side markers and rear side markers are an outdated US regulation (like a lot of our lighting regs) and not required anywhere else. If there was any safety benefit to having them, areas that actually regulate at a reasonable pace and take driving seriously (looking at you, Germany) would have adopted them. So, I see no issue with disabling them and blacking out or removing the reflectors.
I had ecodes in my B8 which completely removed the reflector and obviously the marker as well. I disabled all the markers in my B8.5, no regrets. And my current F10 has the reflectors blacked out too. Tons of people do this without a safety impact.
