Remember that full SFM usage requires all modules to be fabric-enabled. If there are any line cards that aren't fabric enabled, all traffic will still go thru the bus, doesn't matter if it is an OIR or from power-up.
Your question is if this OIR stands for Online Insertion and Removal or for Online Insertion and Reboot... although I don't know the answer, what I saw over the years is that even if it doesn't require a reboot, you will want to do one, because any issues will have after that will make you wonder whether if it's due to OIR or not, so you will end up rebooting anyway. So, reboot while you have a planned window to do so, not when you are under pressure.
