And if possible, how to disable statistics completely and safely? Without the "0" trick, that leads getting;

Hi!
you cannot disable the new stats, they are integral to how Dovecot works. If you disable access to the socket, you get the errors as you saw.
See https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/old_stats/, but keep in mind that all the settings should be prefixed with old_.
Also 2.4 will not have old_stats at all, so it is probably better to start using new metrics instead.
