All the articles over the years tell me that disabling sa wont affect any jobs owned and run by sa. I'm running the SSMS builtin Maint wizard job: "Misc Cleanup.Subplan_1" and "DB Integrity Check.Subplan_1" and also a Ola Hallengren "Index Optimize and stats" job. All of them fail since I disabled the sa account. If I re-enable sa the jobs all work.

I created a custom sa like local SQL authenticated account and used a complex unique password for it and made it owner of the SSIS Maint wizard jobs and it has SQL sysadmin role. Disabling sa account then was successful.

So you have to modify the "Maint Wizard" job - go into "Manage Connections" and edit it. Use a specific username and password and save it. Save the maint job. –
