If you don't want *any* decoders, why do you need hardware decoding?

configure has the option:
  --disable-decoder=NAME(s)

See here:
https://www.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-codecs.html#Decoders

I believe --disable-decoder takes a comma-separated list.

I hope your lawyer is giving you good advice. If you explicitly disable
the H.264 codecs, ffmpeg will probably still be able to decode HEVC and
many other codecs, many of which *may* also have legal issues
(depending on what you're exactly trying to achieve or comply to).
