There are currently 3 ways I know of to block them:

1. Exclusions Blaster https://www.vallumfirewall.com/eblaster/

2. Enabling Little Snitch 4.6 kext under Big Sur https://www.obdev.at/support/littlesnitch/245913651253917

3. Convoluted hack: https://tinyapps.org/blog/202010210700_whose_computer_is_it....

Oh neat, they're still maintaining Little Snitch 4 for Big Sur for people who want a kext and don't mind approving it.

They say "that option could go away at any time", but that would require Apple to make SIP mandatory, and I still don't see that happening. There may come a time, however, where you need to actually disable part of SIP.
