I don't think force-load-messages is what you want, because that
variable is used for the opposite purpose: to avoid suppressing
"Loading FOO..." messages.  Whereas you want to suppress those
messages.

I don't understand why you want to suppress those messages, though.
Those messages are normal in Emacs: they are shown every time Emacs
loads a Lisp package.  custom-load is not special in any way in this
regard.

Why is it important to suppress that?
