You cannot disable App Library. However, it doesn’t prevent you from adding as many home screens as you want. You can change the settings so that apps are always added to the Home Screen. Settings>Home Screen>Newly Downloaded Apps>Add to Home Screen.


Once your apps have been downloaded to the Home Screen, you can manually arrange them however you would like, just they way you’ve been able to do for years:


Move apps and create folders on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
