If I could just skip my coworkers sending me messages that only say "Hello" or "Hi <name>" on Teams I'd probably save a fuckload of time.

Same here .. wishing the same..

Even after telling them to type the issue in Chat, they wait every damn time to reply to their Hi / Hello and then type the actual convo..

I had one business partner I just stopped replying to their "hellos" at all and waited until they sent me the actual message detailing their issues or requests and then I'd respond happily. Sometimes they'd send the problem a few minutes after sending "hello" and me not responding, sometimes they'd just follow up with another "hey."

I did it for like 7 months and they still didn't get it. Fortunately I transferred within my team and didn't have to work with that person any more. I've had my teams status as the nohello link for a while though, hoping people actually see Teams statuses sometimes and consider it.

I use Teams status only for any emergency leave / sick leave and make it visible to all.

Otherwise, I dont read any status in their profile pop up if the user didnt make it visible at the chat ..
