I wouldn't recommend this, it's only changing the visual appearance of the form and (as you also pointed out) you are still able to change field values and even submit the form only by keyboard navigation. From the accessibility perspective it's also not very good. People with screen readers won't see this form as disabled as it's semantically not disabled.

I like this best. It does not have anything finicky about it. If you use disable - you stand chance of having the form fields data not being saved. If you use readonly - it is also buggy and does not work properly with drop lists. And this method also works on both 'form' and 'fieldset' which is more elegant and concise - rendering the complete form unchangeable. As well - with the CSS you have the choice to display the now unusable sections in the way that suits your interface design and style and visual cues best.
