The grey section next to the cursor and those little ][ symbols - can we hide that? It just gets in the way for me and adds nothing

While I wouldn't mind a preference to hide that, I would never want that highlight to go away.

That highlight is showing you shutter angle and shutter phase. It goes away if you just zoom out on the timeline a little way. The visual representation is an important clue that tells you how motion blur is going to work. You adjust those settings in the composition panel.

But I don't need that information, and I like to see the alternating dark grey/light grey between the keyframes that you can only see when fully zoomed in. Any way to hide it without zooming out? I don't ever want to see it

It is a tool that you can't hide. If you enable motion blur, you see the Shutter Angle and Shutter Phase. It's important to know where those values are when you are designing motion graphics that match the motion blur in video or film layers.

In the latest builds of AE, turning off motion blur will display a fully highlighted frame when you move the "Timeline Navigator" start or end enough so you see approximately 15 frames in the Timeline panel.
