No.  While you can indeed disable SNI on your server, that will make
no difference if clients send your name in the SNI.  What you need to
do to protect against filtering is configure clients to not send SNI.
Which would never be done (because the connection would fail) unless
the client knows the connection to the server in question will succeed
without it.
