It depends on what you are running on that system. If you have 1GB of RAM and want to run a desktop environment web browser, that'll go pretty poorly without swap.

Because bloatware and OOM killer?

Can you elaborate on this please? FWIW, I have been configuring systems with no external mass storage to operate with no swap whatever for several years now, with no apparent ill effects. Why would this be poor practice?
