Is it possible to disable subsite creation in a modern team site?
Is there a way to prevent users from creating subsites in a (Group) Modern Team Site? If not, is it possible to control the templates made available?
You can turn this off for the entire tenant in the SP admin center. Settings>Subsite Creation.
Here's the text from the setting:
Control whether site owners can create a subsite in a site that includes an Office 365 group. This setting determines whether the option to create a subsite is available on the Site contents page when users click New.

Bad news about this solution - in fact this only hides the 'create subsite' button in the Modern site contents page. If the user selects the 'Return to classic SharePoint' option in the bottom of the left column of the Site Contents page, site owners still have access to the 'Create sub-site' option.
Hiding the button will stop most users but the more technically savvy users can easily discover how to get around this after doing a quick online search.
