The following code will add a checkbox in text fields and if you check read-only, it will become read-only for all users.

The same login will apply to Disabled.

add_action('acf/render_field_settings/type=text', 'add_readonly_and_disabled_to_text_field');
function add_readonly_and_disabled_to_text_field( $field ) {
	acf_render_field_setting( $field, array(
		'label'      => __('Read Only?','acf'),
		'instructions'  => '',
		'type'      => 'true_false',
		'name'      => 'readonly',
	));
	acf_render_field_setting( $field, array(
		'label'      => __('Disabled?','acf'),
		'instructions'  => '',
		'type'      => 'true_false',
		'name'      => 'disabled',
	));
}

add_filter('acf/prepare_field', 'filter_acf_prepare_field');
function filter_acf_prepare_field( $field ) {
	
	if( !empty($field['readonly']) ){
		$field['readonly'] = 1;
	}
	if( !empty($field['disabled']) ){
		$field['disabled'] = 1;
	}
	return $field;
}
