Yes it should be possible.
You need to remove the related engravers from TabStaff and
TabVoice.

  \layout {
    \context {
      \TabVoice
      \remove "Dynamic_align_engraver"
      \remove "New_dynamic_engraver"
    }
  }

should do the trick.
Actually I do not think the removal of "Dynamic_align_engraver" was
really necessary, "New_dynamic_engraver" certainly.
I did not find something relevant to remove in TabStaff.
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.13/Documentation/internals/tabstaff
"Ottava_spanner_engraver" is not part of the TabStaff context (2.13.38)

Cheers,
Xavier
