For the most robust experience across your Apple devices, leave iCloud Keychain enabled, but as per Dave's suggestion above, disable saving / filling from Safari passwords (see Note). On iPadOS, for example, you'd disable Passwords > AutoFill Passwords > iCloud Keychain (depending upon your version of iPadOS). I believe the location is the same on iOS (I don't have my phone handy to double-check).
iCloud Keychain contains more than just (Safari) passwords, so allowing this to sync across all your Apple devices makes your experience better.
Unfortunately, the nomenclature about all things "iCloud Keychain" is confusing.
Note: There are some circumstances where saving Safari passwords in iCloud Keychain is useful. But unless you're clear about why you'd need this, and how to avoid getting the two passwords stores out of sync, it's best to let 1Password handle passwords.
