Answer 1

Using User Permissions

This can be controlled by user permissions. The permissions can be updated in useradmin console to remove read permission from the workflow models you want not be shown to user. Permissions can be managed via groups

Please note that there are 2 workflow models for Schedule Activation/Deactivation, the read access is required for these in case you want user to be able to use "Activate/Deactivate Later" OOTB functionality in siteadmin/damadmin console. These 2 are anyways not shown in workflow list while initiating workflow from siteadmin/damadmin console, but we should take care while removing read permissions.

This solution is verified.

Using Model changes

Model can updated to make it as system workflow refer Adobe Forum Link. Verify this one with Day Care to see if there is a side effect.
