You can disable the check box alone in TreeView instead of disabling the whole node. You need to include the e-checkbox-disabled class into the check box element using the drawNode event. Please refer to the following sample to disable the check box of the tree nodes.
import { enableRipple } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';
import { TreeView } from '@syncfusion/ej2-navigations';
enableRipple(true);
