We have the expert config in Settings->Advanced. That should be used for
something like this. See
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=1a032dcfebc2702f0612c470d6b9c3e3cf4fb637
for how to add such an option.

I'm not sure how exactly this should be implemented. Maybe we can just disable
the buttons (Add, Remove, Enable, Disable) in the extension manager dialog if
this setting is set. 
And display a message like "Extension management has been disabled. Please
contact your administrator for more information." or something like that.

Of course users would still be able to install via the command line using
unopkg. I'd limit the scope here only to the GUI.
