To answer your question, yes, it is safe to disable your apps, and even if it did cause issues with other apps, you can just re-enable them. Uninstalling any updates for those apps before disabling may free up space, though.

What does disabling an app do on Android?

What happens if I disable an app on my Android phone? Disabling an app removes the app from memory, but retains the usage and purchase info. If you only need to free up some memory but want to be able to access the app at a later time, use Disable. You can restore the disabled app at a later time.

Is it better to disable or force stop an app?

If you disable an app it completely shuts that app off. This means that you can’t use that app anymore and it won’t appear in your app drawer so the only way to use is it to enable it again. Force stop, on the other hand, just stops the app from running.
