Description
Kindly considering adding an option to disable the gutenberg editor if a 3rd party page builder plugin or theme with it’s own editor is being used. This will drastically improve performance and make it more convenient to operate with other builders. I know there are plugins which do that, but having this option locally in the settings will be beneficial.

Hi there and welcome to Trac!
If a page builder plugin takes over the editing experience, its their job to disable the block editor if there is a conflict.
WordPress itself does provide an option to turn off the block editor in form of the Classic Editor plugin. Classic Editor is an official WordPress plugin, and will be fully supported and maintained as long as is necessary.
It's a conscious decision by the project to offer this in form of a plugin instead of yet another toggle on a settings page. There are currently no plans to change this.
