I'm trying to work out the setting that enables these little inline annotations.

Those are Inlay Hints. You can enable (the default) or disable them with the setting:
Editor > Inlay Hints: Enabled
or change the Font Family or Font Size by searching for Inlay Hints in the Settings UI.
And there is finer control for parameter names/types, variable types and more for js/ts files.
For a lot more, see the release notes v1.60 release notes:
The most significant new tooling feature in TypeScript 4.4 is inlay hint support. Inlay hints add additional inline information to source code to help you understand what the code does.
Parameter name inlay hints for example show the names of parameters in function calls:
This can help you understand the meaning of each argument at a glance, which is especially helpful for functions that take Boolean flags or have parameters that are easy to mix up.
To enable parameter name hints, set
javascript.inlayHints.parameterNames.enabledortypescript.inlayHints.parameterNames.enabledsettings. There are three possible values:
none— Disable parameter inlay hints.literals— Only show inlay hints for literals (string, number, Boolean).all— Show inlay hints for all arguments.In addition, VS Code also offers inlay hints that show implicit type information in your JavaScript and TypeScript code.
Variable type inlay hints show the types of variables that don't have an explicit type annotations.

Important: Even though this answer does mention there are separate JS and TS options I didn't get that far - so it took me way too long to discover I was enabling JS settings instead of TS. I also had to restart VS Code to get any of them to take effect the first time.

How do we change style of these things? They are way to intrusive and distracting..

Found it:
"workbench.colorCustomizations": { "editorInlayHint.background": "red", "editorInlayHint.foreground": "black" },
Déjà vu
@vanowm You should write an answer, since your comment is much better than this accepted answer.
In additional to the accepted answer, if you want to change the color, it's editorInlayHint keys inside of workbench.colorCustomizations:
"workbench.colorCustomizations": {
"editorInlayHint.background": "red",
"editorInlayHint.foreground": "black"
}
