Disabling apps only stops the app from running. Other apps can still call upon the disabled app to do certain tasks/routines/api calls. The disabled app will still continue to occupy storage and memory space.

By doing adb uninstall, you are really deleting the app from your Walkman. No longer can any other app call up the uninstalled app. Also there will be a drop in storage and memory usage after doing adb uninstall.
Disabling app has the advantage of being easily reversible. But there’s a few(unwanted for music playback) system apps that cannot be disabled.
Adb uninstall allows for more deeper uninstall of system apps. But the risk exist for causing bootloop if you don’t know what you are doing and try to uninstall something that is required for the android to run.
My suggestion for non-experienced users is to use the disabling method first then once you are comfortable that disabling the app doesn’t cause issues then do adb uninstall later down the road.
For more gusty and experienced users, it is recommended to do google search on the package name to decide upon whether this app is safe to be uninstalled.
Most of the time for adb uninstall, provided that you do not do something really extreme(like trying to crack the encrypted boot loader), you can recover via DFU reset by pressing a certain key combination.
And in my experience, yes there is a slight UI performance difference between doing disabling vs aggressive adb uninstall. As for sound quality differences, I will say it’s kinda minimal but do note it’s about the sum of all improvements, a few minor improvements here and there do add up eventually.
A very optimised Walkman with a good quality low noise microSD card will sound much different from a unoptimised Walkman with budget consumer grade cards. The unoptimised Walkman will also have very slow UI response(jerking text scrolling and longer wait for page updates) as compared to a one that has gone through extensive uninstalling(liquid smooth text scrolling and almost instant page updates).
