The only time I've ever experienced a rattling in this area was with a multi-plate clutch (not on Yaris). I think having a rattling flywheel is a sign of malfunction.

Remember that is not just a matter of reducing weight... where do you reduce it is very important...

When talking about inertia and rotational mass... the weight on the outer side of the wheel is the most important.

I've seen the OE flywheel of these cars and there is some material that could be remove... but really not that much and almost non near the edge...

You have to be SURE the machine shop knows what they are doing... if they go crazy on the wheel it could break at high speed... not nice! (google broken flywheels)
Also make sure they balance the wheel to at least the original values...

Too much risk IMO

If you really want this, go buy a Fidanza.
