as /opt/puppetlabs/server/data/puppetserver/reports/ is filling up, what
are those reports used for?

Errh, for checking what's going on in your environment?

Who does so? A system? A program? Me? If the latter I can disable reporting and enable if required?!

I read that I can purge them but want to understand the purpose of those reports before doing so. I use puppetdb
if that is important.

Yes, you can purge them after a certain amount of time, a good measure would be one or two weeks (maybe you might want to know when things started to break). There are also some report processors available out there to ease reading. We, for example, use https://theforeman.org <https://theforeman.org> for this (it's a bit overkill, I know, but it's still the best tool when it comes to visualize Puppet reports).

I used foreman but not anymore. Total overkill.

Are the reports required for puppetdb?

reports = store,puppetdb

Can I remove "store" and puppetdb keeps working?
