As i did find, uksm not conflicting with zram (or zswap - on my system).

Offtop:
Why i open up question about UKSM?

May be we (as community, who want to help) can split out UKSM in
"several patches" in independent git repo. For allowing maintainers to
review this.

Is it morally correct?

UKSM code licensed under GPL and as i think we can feel free for port
and adopt code (with indicating the author)

Please, fix me if i mistake or miss something.
This is just stream of my thoughts %_%
