How to block Oculus from tracking my Quest?
1. You can block these domains on your router or a pi-hole device:
oculus.com
oculuscdn.com
facebook-hardware.com
facebook.net
facebook.com
fbcdn.com
fbsbx.com
fbcdn.net
fb.me
fb.com
crashlytics.com
You can also block graph.facebook.com but this will break Oculus Venues app
2. You can disable telemetry from your Quest safely using following ADB command:
adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.oculus.unifiedtelemetry & adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.oculus.gatekeeperservice & adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.oculus.notification_proxy & adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.oculus.bugreporter & adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.oculus.os.logcollector
You can also download the following batch script (for windows) to disable telemetry:

Mediafire link: aHR0cDovL2dnLmdnL2c4NWw1
Mega link: aHR0cDovL2dnLmdnL2c4NWw3
3. Always keep your device offline
How to re-enable telemetry while disabled?
It is advised to keep the telemetry disabled to keep the app error logs getting sent to Oculus. However if you need to re-enable it for some reason, use the following ADB command:
adb shell pm enable com.oculus.unifiedtelemetry & adb shell pm enable com.oculus.gatekeeperservice & adb shell pm enable com.oculus.notification_proxy & adb shell pm enable com.oculus.bugreporter & adb shell pm enable com.oculus.os.logcollector
How to access the hidden developer settings?
Run the following ADB command to access the hidden developer settings (make sure Quest screen is turned ON while running the command):
adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.VIEW -d com.oculus.tv -e uri com.android.settings/.DevelopmentSettings com.oculus.vrshell/.MainActivity
