This will prevent all methods except GET. Subversion uses many more
methods than just GET, even for read-only operations. Check your
Apache logs some time while you're doing a checkout or update.

I would instead modify your pre-commit hook (and, if applicable, your
pre-revprop-change hook) to prevent changes. I just posted an example
of this in another thread:
