/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections is an empty folder so I went
ahead and added "DHCP_SEND_HOSTNAME=no" to
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-<SSID>

(a WIFI connection)

unfortunately I still see my hostname in the DHCP Request packets
(wireshark).
I even tried a reboot to see if this change requires a reboot, but no luck.

Is this a bug in a rarely used config option or am I still doing
something wrong?

thanks!
