You asked:
...Does anyone ever use the caps-lock key?
Yes, it is very useful for entering registration codes with hunt-and-peck typing.
Is there some way to disable it other than hot-glue underneath, or electric shock to train myself out of hitting it?
My wife was trained as a secretary on a real typewriter. My kids grew up on computer keyboards. On the Atari 800, the "Atari" key replaced the inner third of the right hand "shift" key. My wife would hit the Atari key when reaching for the shift, doing something as innocuous as deleting the entire 10 page report she was typing. I drilled a small hole in the key cap flush with the keyboard housing. When my wife used the computer, she slipped a small dressmakers' pin into the hole, disabling the key and giving her tactile feedback that it was disabled. She removed the pin when she was finished, allowing us techies access to the full power of the keyboard. Worked like a charm!
