I believe I made a mistake. The case where I lost data I think was
actually that I uninstalled a module.

You are correct, because simply disabling module does run any code, so
how could any data be lost?

It indeed should be the case that disabling modules will NOT lose any data.

My mistake for saying otherwise.
