I use DisableWinTracking to quickly disable shit. But in a few cases I had to do some pretty ugly hax to get the apps like the store itself to quit showing back up with the log file permissions. If I recall correctly, enterprise should be the one that allows you to delete the perms for pretty much any of the apps or services without having to do the same hax. Just edit the stuff from the policy manager (I don't know where this is in 10, Computer Management?).
In terms of ramifications. All I can say is that if Windows 10 is still usable for me while being completely gutted of the apps and intentionally breaking the telemetry services with perms. Logically it should work fine with proper ACL management since Windows crap is written to assume better behavior when it doesn't see a permission. You'll just want to avoid doing that for things that are coupled. As the search/cortana service seems to be. In the same binary. Which is probably intentional.
