I just needed it. No need to complicate. Or add unnecessary extra plugin and code.

https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/adding-custom-settings-fields/

First snippet adds Admin only view (new option) for fields, second snippet remove it even from Admins. Do not forget to activate Admin only check option for second snippet to work.

add_filter( 'acf/load_field/name=inscription_classe', [ $this, 'hide_field' ] );
add_action('acf/render_field_settings', 'my_admin_only_render_field_settings');
function my_admin_only_render_field_settings( $field ) {
	acf_render_field_setting( $field, array(
		'label'			=> __('Admin Only?'),
		'instructions'	=> '',
		'name'			=> 'admin_only',
		'type'			=> 'true_false',
		'ui'			=> 1,
	), true);
	
}

add_filter('acf/prepare_field', 'my_admin_only_prepare_field');
function my_admin_only_prepare_field( $field ) {
	// bail early if no 'admin_only' setting
	if( empty($field['admin_only']) ) return $field;
	// return false if is not admin (removes field)
	if( !current_user_can('administrator') ) return false;
	// return
	// return $field;
}
