If you are still using ledger live application with your ledger hardware wallet, than I you should really think again about it.
In reality it's impossible to update your device without ledger live application that can be only used on computer, so you are stuck with it at least partially.

You should know what data ledger live collects from users and for how long, because they are not even hiding it, as you can see in their privacy policy page below.
Device session identifier, IP address, clicks, actions, language and region for your operating system, transactions, etc.
They are keeping all this data for ''legal'' reasons and retention period is five years, and they share customer data with their partners.
Knowing that ledger and their partners were hacked and data leaked multiple times, I think it's crazy for anyone to trust ledger with your data for years.

What's even worse is that Ledger chairman and co-founder murzika publicly lies how they don't collect IP addresses.
So now we have proof and confirmation that people who own and work in ledger are liars:

Best solution for this is to stop using ledger wallet, but temporary fix would be mandatory use of Tor or some good open source vpn like Mullvad.
Don't trust my words, and do your own research about this.

Some of this has already been discussed here and in the topic itself, but the information you provided adds to the overall picture of Ledger. In general, those who often look into this section should already have a clear idea about this firm and that you need to stay away from them. Info about Ledger should be posted on as many resources as possible to get the attention of as many people as possible.

In Trezor hardware wallet used with Trezor Suite app I can disable sending of all information (in settings) and I can enable Tor to hide my IP address.
This is what Trezor can collect if you enable anonymous data collection:

Formally, this can be done in Ledger Live settings too, but I have big doubts that this is not a fiction and an illusion for users. After all, we can't find out what actions the app performs because of the closed code.

There is a way.

You can create 2 wallets, using a passphrase. Then, you can use ledger live only in your empty wallet to update the firmware.

When making transactions, go to your other wallet with a passphrase (different pin) and use it in a software where you truste the servers.

Curious find. Need to include this in the list of "magical" actions that are required to interact with Ledger (I could not find the topic where similar Ledger lifehacks were discussed, otherwise I would have added here.)
