Restricting Groups creation to a specific Group (I assume you are doing that configuration in Azure AD) is not going to remove the ability to create modern sites from the SPO Home page what's is not a problem...basically, unless you want to remove the self-service site creation for end users this is the way it should work when Groups creation is only enabled for some people:
(1) "Regular" users can still create modern sites from the SharePoint Home Page
(2) They can create two kind of sites: Modern Team Sites not connected to a group (because it has been disabled for them) and Communication sites
In summary, site creation link in the SPO Home page is not going to create Sites connected to groups, only modern sites

Hello again!
We never found out how to apply the settings I wanted in the snippets I took, but. what we ended up doing was just to hide the button in itself and started to use the 'Try preview' in SP adminportal. This works for us, and only admins can create teamsites now.
