If you just want to deploy addons you can put your .mpq that contains the addons in the locale folder, like wow\data\enUS\ client is not reading them if they are in main data, though they will still be toggleable on or off by the user in the addon control pannel, but if he deletes his interface addon folder they will be still read in game.
If you want to prevent them from being toggleable, you need to enable secure mode by adding` ## Secure: 1 in the .toc` file. You’ll also need a toc.sig file in that addon folder, but I don’t know how to handle that part. There is probably a better way to do that.

blizzard already does that, a bunch of Ui stuff is just default addons packed in base MPQs

So instead of just having the addons in my main server Patch for players to download, I'd add them in the locale folder? Am I understanding that correctly?

That's what I do on my server, yes. Else the client don t detect them. But they can still be turned off by users in control pannel.

Also needs to be in an archived mpq not a folder as mpq patch.

Do you mind if I add you and send you a private DM?

https://discord.com/channels/40766404101...8294664272 That should help you more if you want to make them untoggleable/hidden client side.
In my case I just put the addons inside .mpq so that users don't accidentally remove them, not to hide them. Which is not what you are aiming to do if I've understood.
