How about just using
LAYOUT=fs
Then Dovecot will not consider .folders are mail folders at all? This does require mailbox format change though.
Frank, I don't think Dovecot has "imap_hidden_namespaces" setting at all, unless it's some 3rd party plugin.

maybe working with hidden namespace:
namespace hidden { prefix = .foo/ separator = / hidden = yes list = no }
plugin { imap_hidden_namespaces = .hidden/* }

how about to chown of ~/.maildir/.foo to an other user than defined as mail_uid / mail_gid in dovecot's config? Directory .foo needs to have the same owner as the parent ~/.maildir . Like the name and location of .foo, this is a restriction imposed by the third party software which creates .foo.
Additional you have to edit in each users mail locations root the subscriptions file and remove the line, pointing to ~/.maildir/.foo Foo is not mentioned in the subscriptions list, but macOS and iOS MUAs don't care about user subscriptions anyway. Also, in Thunderbird, foo will be listed as one of the folders a user can subscribe to, and nothing is preventing that (or worse, the deletion of foo).
