The document covering index blocking mentions metadata blocking as blocking either read or read and write depending on the section: https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/blob/main/docs/reference/index-modules/blocks.asciidoc

It looks like it blocks both read and write:

index.blocks.metadata
Set to true to disable index metadata reads and writes.

metadata
Disable metadata changes, such as closing the index.

Blocking metadata on an index also breaks many other things -- see: #118637 depending on the result of that ticket we may want to improve the language to indicate the consequences of blocking metadata reads
