No, Lockdown Mode doesn't disable iMessage.
"Most message attachments are blocked and some features are unavailable."
iMessage with blue bubbles still works in Lockdown Mode. I think GIFs don't display properly and certain other attachments, but I can share photos, audio clips and video so I otherwise don't really notice that Lockdown Mode is enabled.
Unfortunately, Lockdown Mode disables Live Photos from being received via iMessage... That's a pretty big iPhone feature to not work under Lockdown Mode!
Not received at all or received as a still photo?
Still photo.
