It is possible to create customizations to disable the drag-and-drop upload and upload buttons - your version of Alfresco will dictate how easy this will be - but in both cases I think it will be necessary to actually extend the default DocumentList widget and the documentlist.get WebScript that instantiates it. Just removing the regions/components (via an extension) that creates the underlying upload services will prevent uploads but will result in errors occurring in the browser (which I'm sure you don't want).

It would also be possible to replace the upload services for the DocumentLibrary with custom upload services that require metadata to be added. You could do all of this via extension modules and with custom JavaScript widgets.
