Exactly opposite. Don't use swap partitions, and use swap files, even multiple if necessary. Never allocate too much swap space. It is better to get OOM earlier then to wait for unresponsive system.

Swap partition is set and forget. Can be detected by label automatically, never fails.

Swap file means fallocating, setting extended attributes (like `nocow`), finding file offset and writing it to kernel params, and other gotchas, like btrfs not allowing snapshotting a subvolume with an active swap file.

Technically it's preferable, won't argue with that.
