Try \remove-ing Staff_performer from the ChordNames context.  There are two 
ways.  Either add:

\midi {
    \context {
      \ChordNames
      \remove "Staff_performer"
    }

...

or use

    \new ChordNames \with { \remove "Staff_performer" }

instead of

    \new ChordNames \with { midiInstrument = ##f}
