How to exclude user directories when spawning a notebook?

[lifetooeasy]

Bug description

Users are not able to start notebook on compute nodes. Stuck on "waiting to connect".

Actual behaviour

Users starts a notebook with --disable_user_config=True, job started but it is stuck on waiting to connect.
Deleting the directory .jupyter or .local/lib/python* solves the problem. It means that there is conflict with user's installed packages.

Is there a way to exclude those PATHS when starting a notebook?

I already checked jupyterhub/jupyterhub#3804 and jupyterhub/jupyterhub#4713 but using disable_user_config does not work.
