Which private wikis should be excluded? All of them?

The spam blacklist already appears to be disabled on private wikis. Can you confirm whether this is the case?

It was the title blacklist that is the issue, and I guessed wrongly then for spam blacklist.

For title blacklists, yes all of them. Any title will be purposeful on a private wiki and for the people using these wikis the likelihood that it would be abuse is insignificant.

Change 244140 had a related patch set uploaded (by TTO):
Disable title blacklist on private wikis

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/244140

makes sense, but note that the spam blacklist is already like this (it does not apply on sites with closed registration)

Oh, I see that was already mentioned. Okay.

As I commented on https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/244140, I'm not sure why we wouldn't just uninstall the TitleBlacklist and SpamBlacklist extensions from private and fishbowl wikis. Is either extension needed on those wikis?

Why is this request still open, while a patch has been uploaded already? Are you still reviewing the patch? Or is it because of the comment by @MZMcBride? Does this require more discussion somewhere? Or is it for another reason I don't know about? Or...?

That patch is still unmerged, because @MZMcBride wants it to be done differently, and because @Krenair got a bit confused about how the settings work.

Personally I would just schedule the patch for deployment, as I don't think those objections are worth worrying about, but there are no more deployment windows until 11 January, unless you can convince @greg that this is a high-priority request...
