Being in an iCloud family does suppress the tracking notifications.

I don’t think so. My wife and I are iCloud family and I still get alerts every time I drive the car without her.

Of the four pack I bought one is useful for finding my keys, one is a PITA in our car, and two I never got around to using.

i.e. completely stop or just reduce? Because I was going to say it would make sense for the "threat model" to go beyond "traditional" stalking to domestic abuse etc.

Not true, you will receive notifications as usual.

You can choose to supress indefenitly.

Source: have iCloud family with like 10 airtags.

agreed - my wife and I still get alerts about each others keys being with us. I wish there was a way to actually see the location of other family member's AirTags, so that I can find my wife's keys with my device. It's annoying that we can see eachother's phones and Macs in the Find My app but can't see eachother's AirTags.
