Uhm, please read the error message. It doesn't say modules are disabled, it says there's no such file as /proc/config.gz. Which is pointless in most cases, and thus is not present on any of Ben Hutchings' kernels (ie, those shipped by Debian and Devuan), nor in those I build myself. Standard Debian/Devuan kernels do ship zram as a module. > Answering to myself: Seems that the kernel modules are disabled.

Debian/Devuan kernels are configured to support an enormous number of setups, and this, unlike optimizing for a particular machine/task is not easy to do right. Usually getting a reasonable kernel configuration is not rocket surgery, but you need to know the basics.
