Hundreds of adults and kids wear robes/cloaks to Universal every day, whether purchased or homemade, and there doesn’t appear to be any safety issues. Some people wear it all day and go on many rides. I have and I’ve never had any issues. Of course, Universal does have streamlined, fast security with everyone going through a metal detector.
I think Disney just doesn’t want adults wearing costumes, which stinks as wearing a costume in Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade increases my enjoyment of the areas and makes it seem more real. I think the same would be true of Batuu.
Oh i suspect they may be allowing it in the future for those staying at the star wars hotel, as this means Disney can monetize it, I agree dressing up is part of the fun at Diagon, but since the Star Wars hotel is supposed to be completely immersive and because Disney is essentially selling costumes in the park, I suspect this will change given time and the promise of money. Who knows Disney might even end up having paid for after hour parties that allow this. Its not like Disney is against dressing up as adults during the Halloween parties, but then again Disney gets extra money for that. I suspect Robes will be allowed in the future, but nothing with hoods or masks that cover the face, and nothing wookie like and of course no signing autographs and what not...
