This seems to work for the custom user group:

<script type="text/discourse-plugin" version="0.8">
api.reopenWidget("post-menu", {
    menuItems() {
        const user = Discourse.User.current();
        if(user.primary_group_name.toLowerCase() === "no_likes") {
            return this.siteSettings.post_menu
                .split("|")
                .filter((item) => item !== "like");
        }
        return this.siteSettings.post_menu.split("|").filter(Boolean);
    },
});
</script>

But I’d still like to see if there’s a way to do this so it checks the custom user field boolean instead of making people join a group. I’ve been looking through other plugins to get an idea of how to do that, but everything I’ve tried so far hasn’t worked.

ETA: This seems to work, but you need to refresh after checking or unchecking the userfield boolean.

<script type="text/discourse-plugin" version="0.8">
api.reopenWidget("post-menu", {
    menuItems() {
        const user = Discourse.User.current();
        if(user.custom_fields['user_field_10']) {
            return this.siteSettings.post_menu
                .split("|")
                .filter((item) => item !== "like");
        }
        return this.siteSettings.post_menu.split("|").filter(Boolean);
    },
});
</script>
