Here's a way to hide the indent lines but keep the active line indicator.

Add this to settings.json.

"workbench.colorCustomizations": {
  "editorIndentGuide.background": "#00000000" // hide via 100% transparency.
}

Only the active indent block will be visible.

To control the color of the active line, add...

"editorIndentGuide.activeBackground": "#444444b9" // Grey with some transparency.
