about:config and search toolkit.telemetry.enabled I checked on a fresh 83 and its greyed out.
You need to create the file firefox.cfg in install Dir and enter lockPref("toolkit.telemetry.enabled", false); To override it And to get that to work you need to create /defaults/pref/autoconfig.js with pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0); and pref("general.config.filename", "firefox.cfg.js");
Its getting harder and harder to make a good browser out of FF, I personally don't mind the work, but things like Lockwise replacing a working password manager without the needed options and no addons to fix it or workarounds, i can see it messing up fields in PasswordFox but can no longer do anything about it.

And once disabled, they'll stay disabled. Firefox is never going to prevent people from disabling telemetry.
