IOS – ny way to turn off the “Finish Setting Up Your iPad” nag in iOS 11

iosipad

iOS 11 will nag you to "Finish Setting Up Your iPad" with notifications and a badge on the settings app if you don't have a passcode. Is there any way to turn this off?

(Just so someone doesn't tell me that I really should set up a passcode: I am setting up the iPad in question for a stubborn older person who uses the iPad at home exclusively and hates the minor inconvenience of having to type in a passcode or use TouchID. I would like to upgrade because software updates are important for security but the person in question refused to upgrade once they learned they needed to set up a passcode.)

Click on the ‘Finish setting up iPad’ notification and then instead of entering a passcode choose ‘other options’ and select ‘Don’t use a passcode ‘
