Youtube is showing a menu with video suggestions while my embedded video is paused. The element in the iframe has the class 'ytp-pause-overlay'

How can you remove it without removing controls?

Yes it is possible. You have to use showinfo=0?ecver=2 in your iframe code.

Example: 

<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/pV1jC37ELmQ?rel=0&amp;showinfo=0?ecver=2" width="640" height="360"></iframe>
