So far everything was fine with ZRAM configured to use 100%. That said,
as per discussion in another thread I have migrated today back to ZSRAM
as it is more suitable when there is a on-disk SWAP as well (can't
provide a link as mail archive returns 503 right now, but the
discussion is called "Fedora 33 System-Wide Change proposal: swap on
zram". Turns out, the discussion of proposal is being held there, not
in this thread. It is easy to mistake because the original proposal
page does not have a link to discussion right now. I could as well have
started a new discussion ¯\_(ツ)_/¯).
