You can toggle it without needing the BIOS.
It is possible to disable SMT from grub, with Linux kernel boot arguments.
It even seems possible to disable/enable it without a reboot.

Set up a separate WG network with a peer on your Gbit LAN. Or even run a
virtual machine on the same host, and run WG between host and VM, which should
get you multi-Gbit raw throughput and likely make WG encryption the
bottleneck. That way you can observe not only the CPU load, but also the
transfer speed reached changing with HT on/off.
