I knew how to disable the modular repository, although I didn't get around to doing it on this new install until now.
How do I shut off flatpak?

I don't know. But, as it seems to be a Gnomism, I would suspect that masking packagekit, the Gnome package manager, would do it. However, that means that all updates have to be done with dnf, and you will no longer get notices of updates in the Gnome desktop. That is, you lose functionality.
