There is several threads on disabling the lock for preventing the shifter from being operated when not pressing the brake pedal. But my question is: is it safe to do so from a technical petspective. I mean, if you by accident ends up «switching» gear while having load/trottle. Is there some kind of a protection this to happend?

No one else I know of has this safety interlock. Considering all the issues, if it were mine, it would be the first thing to go. Just don't shift gears when moving...period. Common sense with everyone else's.

I totaly agree on that. There is no sense in switching gears while in motion. And that was not my question eighter. It was more like if anyone got any experience on if there is any mechanical protection that will Keep you from switching by error or accident. Most cars with manual transmission got such a protection, but how about the Cforce 850 CX 2021 for example?

Other then the shifter's position gate and grinding of moving gears, no.
