If your on Debian it's as easy as 'disable monitor', restart ntp and your safe.

Isn't the default pretty ok anyhow ? Atleast looking at the ntp.conf on a raspbian/centos/fedora here, there's

   restrict  default kod notrap nomodify nopeer noquery
The noquery stops you from dumping the peer/monitor list.
