It is not necessary to disable it.
The system remains active, but does not cause any problems.

Not entirely true (see below).

This is the true difference between a mechanical open differential (lighting up inside tires all the time) and the electronically assisted ones in our car. The assist really works.

which I'm sure isn't good for acceleration since its applying the brakes.

Just stating the obvious here, but it improves acceleration compared to an open diff of course. Also, "applying the brakes" is 100% correct, but doesn't tell the whole story. The system applies *
some* brake to the wheel that would otherwise be spinning.

Incorrect. The "e-diff" kicked in all the time. You just didn't notice
Attached is an example of my car (Quaife LSD) from a recent autocross.
Light blue line is left (inside) rear brake pressure, dark blue is right (outside) rear brake pressure.
Green is throttle, red is brake pedal.
Still a lot of myth and misconceptions around the system...
Bottom line for this thread. You don't need to code it out. It's fine.
