You can remove spawning the getty on tty you don't want to use.
I don't know how to do this with systemd... With init you had some
nice and well commented entries in /etc/inittab
The multiple console is a feature dating back when there was no X11
available for GNU/Linux...

This would be nice, but I think is sort of an hell...
When the user presses the magic sequence, the one in charge of
switching tty should pick the process table, identify X and a possible
screen saver (how? I could use a custom written screensaver called
ullabagulla), then identify which the parent process of X and see
which tty it belongs to, and block any attempt to switch to that tty.
AFAIK Ctrl+Alt+F1 trows a trap, therefore all the stuff above has
to run in kernel space...
A safer solution should be to remove all the getty except one. But
these tty are useful to recover a system in bad times...
