What is the purpose of this PR / why it is needed?

The main reason for capturing thread pool telemetry were aimed at implementing sleep obfuscation and thread pool injection rules. Since we've found a much more robust and cheaper alternative, it doesn't make sense to keep this telemetry source anymore. In any case, it is pretty chatty for the value it could have provided.
