Well, just as I went and try what you suggested I came on the nginx
docs where it says you can use 'map directive' to decide what to log
or not so I tried the below and it works

Below goes inside http { .... }

map $status $loggable {
      ~^444   0;
      default 1;
    }

and in the vhost inside server { .... } goes the below

access_log   /var/log/nginx/vhost.access.log combined if=$loggable;

This completely ignores disables logging of 444 responses
