Hi Matt,
Is it possible to have a Joomla article not appear as an Easy Article / in the timeline?
I'm not sure how Joomla articles are appearing as EasyArticles, perhaps you can elaborate more?
As for the timeline, are you referring to EasySocial stream? If that's the case, Joomla articles stream items can be configured from the user articles app in EasySocial:

We want to have help file pages that are simple pages without the commenting and other features of Easy Article
May I know what other features you are referring to?
For comments, it appears you are using Komento for Joomla articles. If that's the case, you can disable them at Komento's integration settings(
