I don’t know if there are any distros that set it up out-of-box, and I’d guess that a lot of people won’t use it if it isn’t set up for them by default.

This guy in a 2023 thread on Reddit says that Fedora has it enabled out-of-box.
Fedora Workstation has included zram since July 2019 (Fedora 31) by default. Any clean installed systems from that point will automatically be upgraded to this feature.
Fedora IoT has included zram from the beginning. All systems will automatically get this feature upon upgrade.
That feature targeted Fedora 33. I’m not familiar with the Fedora changes wiki thing, so I don’t know whether it actually went into Fedora 33 or not.
It’s really aimed at systems that are running on a small amount of memory and are hitting swap. My systems don’t really hit swap. But if you are swapping, it generally lets you reduce the amount of swapping in exchange for some more CPU usage.
I have never used zram, so for me, no.
