Teach git-describe the `--discard` option which will allow specifying
a glob pattern of tags to ignore.

IMHO "discard" is the wrong word, it almost sounds as if the matching tags
would be *deleted*.

Maybe `--exclude` or `--unmatch` instead?

Yeah, as j6t mentions, I think --exclude would be a good choice.
