This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
Remove 'Content Template' and 'Template Layout' widgets/metabox for certain CPT in admin screen.
Solution:
Please add this code in your theme’s or child theme’s functions.php file:
add_action( 'admin_head', 'wpv_custom_admin_head', 20);
function wpv_custom_admin_head() {
remove_meta_box( 'wpddl_template', 'book', 'side' ); // replace book with your CPT slug
remove_meta_box( 'views_template', 'book', 'side' ); // replace book with your CPT slug
}
==> Whereas 'book' should be replaced with your CPT slug.

I am trying to: Remove the 'Content Template' metabox from the sidebar in when editing a page.
Link to a page where the issue can be seen:
I expected to see: No, Content Template metabox
Instead, I got: I still see the Content Template metabox on pages, but it has been removed from posts.
I found this page: https://toolset.com/forums/topic/remove-content-template-and-template-layout-widgets-for-editors/ which is supposed to remove the link from pages and posts. It has removed the Content Template box from Posts but not Pages.
This is the code that I used:
// Remove Toolset Content Template meta box
add_action( 'admin_head', 'realtor0_wpv_custom_admin_head', 20);
function realtor0_wpv_custom_admin_head() {
remove_meta_box( 'wpddl_template', 'post', 'side' );
remove_meta_box( 'wpddl_template', 'page', 'side' );
}
You can see that the box is still showing in the image below.
