Not necessarily. Less fans means less power usage means money saved
You can set up fancontrol or put 0 into pwm1 manually to stop the fan. But putting 0 into pwm1_min is IMHO quite useless, it can as well just not exist at all. But if it will contain the minimum _safe_ value, then that can well be used. Currently fancontrol have to "evaluate" the minimal safe value by hands. It lowers the pwm1 value and looks when the fan have stopped by checking the value of fan1_input if that exists. And it doesn't exist for amdgpu, so you need to do such a probe by hands.
