Well, you can set whatever highlight group is used for the braces as a
link to Ignore (which displays them as "invisible" i.e. fg the same as
bg) but beware that you won't have any visual cues anymore to warn you
about inappropriate indenting and maybe about mismatched braces (though
there is still the Error highlight here).
Having ":filetype plugin indent on" somewhere in your vimrc will
_default_ to proper syntactical indenting but not _force_ it, unless
maybe you reformat your whole file periodically.
Vim leaves you free to do practically anything you want to with your
text, it doesn't hold you in irons or even in a corset, and if you want
to do stupid things you can; but IMHO disabling visual cues that tell
you when you unwittingly goofed is not the best of things to do. This
said, you'll still do as you like, of course.
Best regards,
Tony.
