No, for root fs, anaconda requires that it create a new filesystem, i.e. mkfs. The exception is on Btrfs, where the requirement is a new subvolume (which is a new fs tree and has its own inodes). For rootfs I don't understand your use case, though, for which defaults are adequate. For your small file optimized volume, it should be separately created and mounted at /home or /opt or /mail or whatever.
