-
Is this plugin SEO compatible?

Obviously if you disable all media permalink, all of those could be deleted by search engines.
Depend on your SEO plugin, it could convert all media permalink to the direct file link (see your SEO plugin settings and check the sitemap.xml to understand what it contain).
If you enable the “Redirect attachment URLs to the attachment itself” function, this will stop to work, since the redirect can’t work without the media permalink. -
