The built-in default for cryptsetup on Fedora is LUKS2 which uses argon2id with parameters:
	Iteration time: 2000, Memory required: 1048576kB, Parallel threads: 4

It is possible to specify a different memory requirement at luksFormat time. But I'm not sure if there's any warning emitted by cryptsetup if there's significant memory pressure, i.e. high potential that a future Fedora might fail to open this volume.
