Just one comment on this:

When I turned it off just now, I still got Hide My Email prompts a few times.

This makes sense, since you turned off AutoFill, not Hide My Email. They are two different features, so it's possible that Apple treats them separately.

In Safari, Autofill no longer offers the suggested login at the top center of the keyboard, but only via key icon at the top right. The cause of this seems to be Apple plastering its "Hide My Email" where the 1Password suggestion used to go, and I don't know how to shut that feature off. Some web sites claim it's not possible, and there's nothing in any Apple doc that suggests it is.

For what it's worth, I haven't found a way to turn off Hide My Email either yet. Perhaps this is something that can come in a future iOS update.
