I'm not the most qualified person to answer but I think since metadata  is a 
extension of IMAP protocol there is no way to disable it.
If you think to offer "premium services" to some customer, I think you can use 
two instances of roundcube, one with kolab plugins for premium customers and 
another instance for regular accounts and redirect domains from apache.
The kolab services will be however still available for an IMAP client.
I think you can also use some acl on metadata folders to restrict access but I 
think is not so simple to manage.
