Description
Your idea
Add an option in the Properties panel to show/hide the +/- above irregular measures, similar to the existing toggles "Invisible", "Formatting", "Frames", "Page margins", and "Sound flags".
Problem to be solved
In MuseScore 4.3, disabling "Show Formatting" hides irregular measure indicators. This was changed in #20443 - they're now only controlled by the "Mark irregular measures" option in the View menu, which is harder to find.

Research direction
Start by tracing the existing Properties panel toggles and the View menu's “Mark irregular measures” option in the MuseScore source. Determine where their visibility state is handled, then make the Properties panel option control irregular measure indicators independently; done means the option is available and its behavior matches the requested show/hide behavior.
