Maybe. My understanding is slightly different.
We use RIM (FreeIPA) for our users - since all the users need to be on all
the nodes with the same uid.
Munge is used by slurmctld service ("head node") to communicate with slurmd
services on worker nodes. IE for the underlying management part.
So there is a subtle difference. Since it's easy enough to set up munge, I
prefer the subtle, but easy, separation of powers.
Unless I have that all wrong?
