No, this IS intentional change of Fedora 31 to disable password root logins. This account is very frequent target of brute-force attacks (and this change was made by upstream OpenSSH years ago). Please, do not advise this as a general solution. The correct solution is to setup public key authentication or use different user and sudo for the administrative tasks.

PermitRootLogin yes Guess it changed or got removed when I did the upgrade (upgraded via dnf, not a clean install), but added that line and it works now.
