Sami has proposed a patch for pg_hint_plan that goes in the direction
of a DisableIndex hint, which is doable even if it requires some work
inside the extension code like some refactoring:
https://github.com/ossc-db/pg_hint_plan/issues/226

So I cannot say much about this proposal for core, but for
pg_hint_plan I'm looking at adding that for the v18 release of the
module, which is planned for the end of August/beginning of September.

FWIW, I have been able to merge the patch to add support for this
DisableIndex hint in pg_hint_plan.  So at least this will give people
something to toy with even without this in-core feature.  That will be
included in next week's release, available in the version of the
module compatible with v18.
