Blimey.  How would you go about turning them back on again?
(I'm not saying that's wrong -- if it works for you that is arguably the 
only thing that really counts)

How about this?

{
  \times 2/3 { a8 a a }  % triplets with figure '3'
  \override TupletBracket #'number-visibility = ##f
  \times 2/3 { a8 a a }  % triplets WITHOUT figure '3'
  \revert TupletBracket #'number-visibility
  \times 2/3 { a8 a a }  % triplets with figure '3'
}

There's also  #'bracket-visibility  which you might want to adjust similarly
