As per title: there is a very nice Q&A detailing which of our soldier's skills are unusable when under negative status effects, but what about enemies' abilities?

    I don't have nearly a complete list for this, but I do know that disorienting a Sectoid will break mind control on XCOM soldiers AND immediately kill any psi-zombie he may have raised. Makes flashbang grenades very useful vs Sectoids in the early game.

    Yes, Flashbangs are also really useful vs Codexes, since they definitely block the split, and maybe also the "bubble" and teleport.

  • @RavenDreamer Sorry, it doesn't look like it is answered there, all the abilities in the list are Unit abilities

There's some information in the XCOM-2 Wiki.

disoriented:

It will also cancel overwatch, suppression, mind control, and reanimated corpses if used on the creator of the zombie. [...]

  • Mutons cannot counter-attack in melee
  • Psionic aliens cannot use any Psi
  • Codex can neither teleport nor clone itself

burning

  • Prevents reloading

  • Prevents melee attacks from Rangers, Berserkers, Stun Lancers & Chryssalids (possibly more)

  • Archons may still melee, even while burning.

  • Stun Lancers appear to panic, causing them to move randomly and fire their rifle.

  • Prevents hacking

  • Prevents Overwatch

  • Prevents most cooldown-affected abilities, such as Suppression from the Grenadier

Poisoning just damages, & decreases mobility and aim.
