I already shared another option i.e. use before update business rule

But remember this will impact and stop user from saving when fields get updated from form as well.

Any reason not to use list_edit ACL?

You can try this

1) use GlideAjax from that onCell edit and pass the record sysId and newValue (both are available in onCell edit client script)

2) then in script include query your table with that sysId and check what's the type and return that type to onCell edit

a) if type = Standard and newValue and oldValue are different it means field was changed, so stop the edit
