No, it is not rare.

All recent intel based systems with iommu support does not need low.

And those systems get punished by following patch:

|    x86/crash: Allocate enough low memory when crashkernel=high

that reserve 256M low always. and those 256M get wasted.

That commit should only be used to workaround some systems that
have partial iommu support.
