No.  Setting this variable programatically is an equivalent of "0"
prefix arg.  Just try it yourself (replacing CANCELLED with whatever
todo keyword that normally triggers interactive note for you):

(let ((org-inhibit-logging 'note)) (org-todo "CANCELLED"))

Yes. Unfortunately, this note system is not very configurable. Though
your specific case is (somewhat awkwardly) covered. In org-add-log-note,
there is the following line:

(if (memq org-log-note-how '(time state))

The org-log-note-how is set in org-add-log-setup according to its args.

org-todo calls org-add-log-setup depending on the value of
org-inhibit-logging.

Thus, my suggestion.

And yes, it is cumbersome. We should re-implement the note system some
day in future.

Best,
Ihor
