Thanks to @b0gdanw for pointing me in the right direction, I've been able to update my High Sierra disable script to work on the newer Mac OSes. Here's my version, which is specific to my need for a temporary "quiet" boot that optimizes for a real-time music performance with video streaming. It works great on Big Sur and Monterey: https://gist.github.com/gopsmith/bf4d3a8203cd0792c9f8702cc76c8525
