My personal advice, from my experience of the administration of hundreds of Windows servers and dozens of Linux servers, is to never disable swap.
Normally it won't be used, but in the rare cases that it is needed, it's better than no swap.

Swapfile has never been needed for runtime moOde which uses maybe 150 - 200MB RAM. Its been this way for over 5 years.
There is an issue with the current in-place update and single core Pi's or Pi's with < 1GB RAM that results in memory constraint during compile of the complex upnp components causing extremely long compile time.
We are testing a revised update that includes the build output from the upnp compiles and thus avoids compiling altogether.
