I had the same request as OP. I do also hide the menu sometimes, but I want to hide this in a different situation.

I checked the source code and it looks like this button is added by a big chunk of JS. So there’s no hook to disable this particular feature.

In this thread @PandS and @Jonathan found the alternative solution of using CSS to hide the cog. So that’s what I’m using now.

<?php

/**
 * Hide the ACF "Edit field group" cog in metaboxes.
 */

add_action( 'acf/input/admin_head', function () {
?>
<style>
.acf-postbox > .hndle .acf-hndle-cog { display: none !important; }
</style>
<?php
});
