yes. good compromise to start.

Just disabling bpf_map_lookup/update() helpers (the way you did here)
is enough. The prorgram can still have references to maps, but since they
won't be accessed it's safe.

the list looks good to start with.

the conversion of seccomp_data fields is unnecessary.
We're doing conversion for sk_buff, because sk_buff and __sk_buff aree two
different structures. __sk_buff is user ABI with its own fields that losely
correspond to in-kernel struct sk_buff.
seccomp_data is already part of user ABI, so it's ok to access as-is.
