ok, another update:
This plug-in caused some issues…
https://wordpress.org/plugins/hide-add-to-cart-button/
This plug-in did the trick:
https://en-ca.wordpress.org/plugins/remove-add-to-cart-woocommerce/
just a note to help expedite:
if you install the plug-in, edit one product, export the product list as csv with metadata, you can just copy/paste the remove_button text to all the products you want the button removed for, then import the file and you should be good to go
I found a workaround plugin if anybody else runs into this issue
https://en-ca.wordpress.org/plugins/remove-add-to-cart-woocommerce/
note that the cart was actually still active in the background, this should likely be a bug fix for the woocommerce plugin
