it entirely?

I don't want to turn off line editing, just completion.

Out of interest – why? The easiest way would surely be just not to use
it.

set disable-completion on
into ~/.inputrc , and log in again, completion should be disabled.
You’ll also have disabled the rest of the settings in /etc/inputrc: you
might like to either copy them across, or try putting
$include  /etc/inputrc
into ~/.inputrc .

Hmm, created ~/.inputrc

$ cat ~/.inputrc
include /etc/inputrc
set disable-completion on

Then

$ su - <myself>

to get a login shell, and indeed completion is turned off.
HOWEVER, so is "I". IOW, I can no longer type the letter "i"
in either upper or lower case. I can, however, type in a
tab. Hmm...
