Attached is topology.
we have several access switches and a single core switch. we want to configure it as such access switches cannot connect to each other.
No STP will be configured in the core switch and bpdu will be disable using multicast block that is coming thru the trunk port.
Each Access switches will have their own stp domain and bpdu guard enable on all access ports except the uplink trunk port.
Will there be a loop seen in this configuration? we would like to limit the use of stp in our network environment.
Any advise or comments will be appreciated

Etherchannel without STP that so bad and the loop can form.

May i ask why does STP need to span across the bridging domain in a mesh topology? Why does access switches need to hear BPDUs from other access switches? May i also how stp is bad in this configuration?

Bad practices , the layer 2 network should be flat and or use standard STP provisioning by Cisco or common standard(s)
