Are you certain? Certainly modifying anything in /System would require
disabling SIP, but we're not talking about modifying anything there; we're just
talking about unloading a launchd plist. Whether or not a plist is loaded used
to be recorded in the plist itself, but that hasn't been the case for many
years; according to the launchctl(1) manpage, that state is now stored
"elsewhere on-disk in a location that may not be directly manipulated by any
process other than launchd."
