In Sakai, activity/resource tools can be enabled/disabled per course site. How can do it in Moodle. Because some teacher need more tools, some less. Esp. those aged teachers, they will be confused if there are so many tools to choose.
The first thing I would say is that if the teachers in question haven't got the skill to focus on the parts they do understand and ignore the other bit, then you have got a serious problem (and it's certainly not age-related!)
If you do want to go down that road, you will need to look at roles. Moodle has course managers, teachers, and non-editing teachers already as roles that you can assign. You could create other roles which create different levels of responsibility for your teachers. However, it might be a lot easier to give the teachers adequate training, rather than creating artificial levels of access.
Hope this helps,

I disagree with Andy, it think it would be quite a handy feature.

The cost of training teachers is very high, and most teachers in my university will drop to use it when Moodle is too complicated. In contrast to Open edX, the interface and user experience (both teachers and learners) are really awful and not intuitive. This is also one of the main reasons that traditional LMS like Moodle and Sakai declines these years.

I second Andy's suggestion about with creating specific roles with fewer options for teachers who don't yet have the skills to do certain things. I saw a presentation by a UK Moodle Partner about doing this and they are doing an online presentation on 10th May -here is the link: Ripping up the Rule book
Basically, they talk about creating new custom roles based on the teacher role but preventing certain capabilities such as -not allowing them to see or use a workshop/database activity/assignment (or whatever). Then they assign this new role "Beginner teacher" to certain teachers and other teachers get the standard role where they can access all the features of Moodle. See Creating custom roles

It can make it, but it's not an elegant way.

This is possible at any context level (site, category, course) using the "addinstance" capabilities for each activity and block.
You could change them for the role everywhere in the site, or use overrides at any context level.
