The \section[...]{...} approach may work, but it is tricky - it is completely up to the `org-latex-classes'. So, we may have to use regexp replacement, which might be fragile.
ox supports the ALT_TITLE property and ox-latex already adds it using regexp. So it should possible to define this property with stripped footnote by an export filter. I have not tested it, but ALT_TITLE and @@latex:\protect@@ might be a workaround.
I recall some tricks with \footnotemark and \footnotetext, but I do not remember details and whether it may work for section titles. Complications may arise if a heading title has several footnotes.
Perhaps it is better to avoid footnotes in titles and to add some phrase to the body instead.
