PProPanel shows how to insert a projectItem, then delete the added audio portion.

You could also programatically change each projectItem's footage interpretation (as Mike suggests doing manually), insert the "video only", then revert the footage interpretation.

Yeah, but doing it one by one is not my goal. What about the source patching method that Ann proposes?

I'm not sure; what does your testing show?

Source patch only the video track.

Audio will still be on the source clips in case you do need them.

It doesn't work. It turns out like this

I can see the issue now and I can replicate it on my end. You have dragged multiple files from the project panel to the timeline. If you disable the source selector and only drag one file then it works as expected. Dragging multiple files (even with the same number and config of source tracks) causes the source selector to be ignored and the audio tracks are put on the timeline. I don't believe this is expected behaviour.

@Ann Bens @Bruce Bullis Can you replicate and/or think of any other explanation before I report this as a bug?

Import your files into the Project panel.

Select your clips and right-click then choose Modify>Audio Channels.

Under "Number of audio clips" > change it to 0.

Now your clips have no audio when you start to edit with them.

But you have to do it manually for each clip?

No, you can select multiple clips and do the same thing.
