I've just read your debug buffer again, and ls is called like this:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
12:31:01.469621 tramp-send-command (6) # /usr/bin/ls --color=never --dired -hltFGH --time-style\=long-iso --group-directories-first --color\=auto --sort\=version --quoting-style\=literal --show-control-chars /xxx/xxxxxxxxx/xxxx/. 2>/dev/null
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

"--color=never" comes from Tramp. But there are other arguments, like
"--color\=auto", which are not from Tramp, and which trigger ls output
colorization. Could you, please, check your customization?

Best regards, Michael.
