LyX 2.3.6.2 uses Qt for the user interface. (I'm not sure which Qt 
version, but I have LyX 2.3.6.1 on Linux Mint, and my copy uses Qt 
5.12.8.) On Linux there's a Qt configuration utility that lets you 
change settings globally for all apps using the Qt library. I don't see 
an on/off switch for cursor blink, but there is a setting for "Cursor 
flash time", and setting that to 0 ms. seems to make the cursor not 
blink. This would affect all Qt-based apps on your system, but it sounds 
as if you would not object to losing cursor blink in other apps.

The key question is, is there a Qt configuration app for MacOS?
