I wouldn't bother setting a passcode. The reason you'd use that is if you were setting up parental controls and didn't want your kids going into Settings and turning those controls back off again …

I am guessing that disallowing In-app Purchases will work on your own account – not just on your child's. If it does, here's how you would set it up:
- Go to Settings and tap Screen Time.
- Tap Content & Privacy Restrictions. If asked, enter your passcode.
- Tap iTunes & App Store Purchases.
- Choose a setting and set to Don't Allow.
You could also change the Require Password setting to Always Require. (I think that one will throw up an "enter your password" roadblock for all App Store and iTunes Store purchases, not just the in-app ones.)
If you ever did want to make an in-app purchase, you could come back here and temporarily relax the restriction.
