Yes. So will md5sum for example and many other things.

The problem is well known and it's due to the addition of the splice
operation to fsstress:

It was also making other tests slower.
This got fixed recently in the last Sunday's update by:

No. Removing fallocate and hole punching operations from btrfs/007, or
any other test, limits coverage.
There were bugs in the past uncovered by that test exactly because
fsstress exercises those operations.

Further, that would not prevent creation of sparse files. Operations
like pwrite, dwrite, clone, etc also cause sparse files.
