Some of the answer here will depend on how iOS evolves, so it is difficult to say without a number of caveats and hypotheticals.

In terms of the current state: once you're set up, if you've enabled 1Password to unlock with Touch ID/Face ID, you can turn iCloud Keychain off. That should eliminate this prompt. The difficulty will be if Touch ID/Face ID ever fail or timeout. In such a case you'll need to turn iCloud Keychain back on to retrieve the passkey you're using to unlock 1Password. One of our developers has tested this setup and it appears to be working for them. I'm not sure it is a setup that I would recommend, but it is an option.

Edit: This may be unwise on iOS 17. See! I said it would be difficult without caveats! 😆😭
