What you are referring to here are boxes from plugins that can be integrated into the editor at this point. You have the option to minimize this section with this button here:

Alternatively, you can deactivate this section completely. To do this, click on the 3 dots at the top right, then on Preferences. There you will find an Advanced section, here with Yoast SEO as an example:

Deactivate it here and it is completely gone. The more sections you have, the more plugins you have, the more you may have to deactivate here.
These are user-specific settings. Each user can decide for themselves whether and where they want to see the section.
If you would like to change this behavior, you are welcome to contact the Gutenberg team: https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues

Found this snippet on reddit which works fine for me.
Thank you (@rpfaffenbach) for the code snippet. Totally worked and we have the editor back to the way it should be. Turning off the plugins like Yoast in the preferences just made them disappear. Not what we were looking for. Thank you again for a real solution!
Thank you for the snippet of code! Omg, you just saved me a thousands clicks!!! This panel thing is so counter productive!
