How does this suffocation take place?
If you are spiking a tree to remove it, vines can hold up a climber if you spike right into the vine, at least english ivy is very strong. I know you are not spiking to prune, since Belgian have the reputation of being good arborists!
Vines in trees can be maintained to cause the trees no problem. More work, true, but what is wrong with that?
here in the se usa, morning glory blue or pink does not climb more than 3m, and lantana is a valued subshrub, not a vine.
