I believe you need to use the subclass method to overwrite this computed descriptor correctly.

```js
import discourseComputed from "discourse-common/utils/decorators";

api.modifyClass("service:composer", 
  (SuperClass) => class extends SuperClass {
    @discourseComputed
    allowUpload() {
      return super.allowUpload && canUpload;
    }
  }
);

```
