Unfortunately, WordPress checks hard-coded ‘upload_files’ permission in order to show/hide “Add Media’ button at the post editor, the same ‘upload_files’ is checked in order to show “Upload Files” tab at the next opened “Add Media” page or give access to “Media Library->Add New” menu item.
So I don’t see a way currently how to solve this task.
