I recently submitted an app for review, and it's currently in "Waiting for Review" status.

I'd like to submit a new build and enable it for testing in TestFlight. When I set enable testing on for the new build, the store shows the message: 

"are you sure you want to start testing 1.xx.20?  Testing for all builds of 1.xx.19 will stop, and you will send an update to your existing testers"

I don't care about testing the previous version, but I don't want to disrupt the review process. Is it ok to go ahead and enable testing for the new build?

I do that all the time. Submit a new build for test flight while a previous build is waiting for the full review, never had any troubles.

The documentation implies the answer is yes:

When the app becomes Ready for Sale in the App Store, testing automatically stops on earlier builds, and you will be unable to view or test them...If you want to resume testing of an earlier build, you can upload it as a new build associated with a new prerelease version.
