Is there a way to lock a note so that it cannot be deleted if someone accidentally hits the Trash button?

No.

Trash (Recently Deleted) is the extent of the available recovery.

Copy (back up) the text of any valuable note elsewhere.

I use Notes app often, but Notes app has also burned some folks.

And some folks have forgotten their decryption key for a note, rendering it forever inaccessible.
