Right, I'd suggest that
- you try to work out a solution with upstream; if you can propose a
proper source patch that's better than just reporting an issue and
leaving them to figure out what to do about it.
- you get a full understanding of the difference between
--enable-stats and --disable-stats by studying the connman source

If upstream shows no interest, or otherwise there's no progress, we
can revisit the disabling, but even then it should be a recipe option
that can be adjusted:
PACKAGECONFIG[stats] = "--enable-stats,--disable-stats"
At that point the "full understanding" would become useful to write a
good commit message for the disabling-by-default.
