Turn off Details panel on new SharePoint lists
You could try this https://blog.kushanperera.com/2018/12/turn-off-hide-details-panel-information.html until Microsoft listen to UserVoice.
It worked for me!

This is the same problem for use. We want business logic to be controlled using PowerApps and custom forms but the details pane allows editing which bypasses any validation you might want. This is essentially what infopath provided and now PowerApps forms but it falls apart if users can directly manipulate the data.
I cannot believe that this is still an issue 2 years later!
I gave up entirely on SharePoint for anything other than document libraries a long while a go.
- While the column permission would be nice every now and then, it would cause a nightmare for maintenance and troubleshooting. If you need to control permission on a column level you can store your data in two different SharePoint lists and display the combined data in a PowerApp. 'Security by obscurity" is never a good idea. Better to do it right from the start.
Actually I just managed to get it to behave by changing list settings:
Advanced>Quick property editing(Specify whether Quick Edit and Details Pane can be used on this list to bulk edit data.)>Allow items in this list to be edited using Quick Edit and the Details Pane?>No
I had at first dismissed it based on a comment in this thread. It now behaves as we want and we can use the new form to trigger flows.
But the users can sill edit the properties in Bulk Edit mode. Bulk Edit <> Quick Edit.
Select any two items in the list , then click the Information icon. The Bulk Edit panel then lets you change all props on the selected item
