You can mark the NMEA source as noselect and still lock the PPS source
to it. The PPS samples will be ignored when NMEA is off by more than
0.2 seconds, but according to your graphs that shouldn't happen very
often.

Nice graphs!

Hm, that's weird. Do they all have the same sync and dist value? Could
you please attach corresponding parts of the tracking, refclock and
statistics logs around the time when the PPS source is dropped?

They are ignored in a different place because the lock option
wasn't used this time.
