I'm not sure if this actually solves your problem, because
notmuch's search is message, not thread based:
If you search for threads that match "is:inbox and not is:muted", you will see threads
that contain messages which are tagged with "inbox" and not with "muted".
This means if you just tag one (or all) msg in a thread "muted" and there is a new response,
this thread will contain such a matching message again and show up in your result list.

To make this work, you need to set up your tagging script (that you run after 'notmuch new')
so that it updates those new messages accordingly. If a msg belongs to a thread that has 
muted messages, also tag the new one muted.
I can pretty much recommend Justus' tagging script afew: https://github.com/teythoon/afew
One of the filters that it supports out of the box is exactly the "kill threads" function
you want.
