That parameter is already totally unrelated to the physical layout of
data on the disk. It is no more invalid for a 4K sector size than it
is for a 512-byte sector size. Really, the only thing that is affected
is the amount of space that fdisk (in the default DOS Compatibility
mode) leaves between a primary or secondary partition table and the
start-of-data for the partition.
