Default new installations, yes. No disk-based swap partition.

For upgrades, there's no mechanism to remove an existing
swap-on-drive. And the installer will still permit swap-on-drive being
added in custom partitioning. Both of these paths results in two swap
devices.

We could ask Anaconda, if a custom installation creates swap-on-disk,
to remove /etc/systemd/zram-generator.conf. And in that case, users
will not get swap-on-zram. And we could also forgo the change being
applied on upgrades.
