If I wanted to say, for example, "animals which are not tribbles", how would I do it? I don't think *yIHmey bIHbe'bogh Ha'DIbaHmey('e'?)* would be grammatical... but is there a good way to say it?

Why wouldn't it be grammatical? Pronouns-as-copula can take -be': loD Quch jIHbe'. They can take -bogh: paq'batlh has ghaHtaHbogh. yIHmey bIHbe'bogh Ha'DIbaHmey'e' seems completely fine to me.

Note that the -'e' is not optional here.

Not only is it grammatical, but I don't see any reason not to say it either, if it best expresses what you mean.
