Not complete without setting the autohide delay which doesn't have a GUI option, need to set with a 3rd party tool or `defaults`.

I just hate the Dock. I wish there was a way to make it completely disappear. I have no need for it, everything I can do via Terminal/open, Spotlight, or cmd+tab app switcher. It's really annoying how baked into the OS it is.
Even trying to auto-hide the dock in new versions of MacOS is a huge pain in the arse.

Although not the same as what you desire (which I fully agree with) - I implemented a encrypted TCP program tunneling app which tunnels over HTTP(S) websockets [1]. This should frustrate middleboxes, but would rather it be as native as HTTP(S) itself.
