I think it's reasonable.

But I'd like to leave the patchset on the list for review for another
week, to see if ext4 and/or xfs folks will chime in and have different
thoughts.

Thanks,

I would use a different phase than 'whitelisted', since that doesn't
tell us why ext4 and xfs are special:

# ext* and xfs have supported all variants of swap files since their
# introduction, so swapon should not fail.

$FSTYP, not $fstyp

I would also add a few more FSTYPs here, since at least ext2 and ext3
supported swap files. Are there other old fses that do?

Sounds ok to me.

sure I will use $FSTYP directly and remove local fstyp variable.

Sure, agreed. I will add ext2 & ext3 too.
