+          No, you should not do that.  UEFI's job is to boot operating systems, and if you disable that, you will also disable the ability to boot OSes that need it.

+          You should be consistent about firmware settings when multibooting.  If you have a UEFI system, use it for every OS you install.  Fedora supports UEFI systems, with or without SecureBoot.  If you use backwards compatibility settings to emulate BIOS installations, you should do so for every OS you install.
