No DT of ours has that property atm, since they are all on USART mode by
default. If I were to make it required. all nodes would fail so I would
have to add it to each of them.

Does checkig for the node's pattern not make it better then? Since it
imposes an additional check? If it would not have a conventional
pattern, it would fail through unevaluatedProperies:false at the end,
since it would have properties that were contained inside a branch that
the validation of the node would not have gone through since it contains
a pattern that does not match the conditions of that branch.

Ah, I understand now. I did not get what you meant by "disallow", I
guess it's just a "property-name: false".
Thanks!
