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.
