Enabling both seems like a slightly better choice, because the installed systems won't be so different. As far as I know, the hibernation will still work and, as you said, the performance should be better. The generator can be always disabled in a %post script of a kickstart file or after booting into the installed system.

Re: Making anaconda disable some storage-related systemd services in post-install config part of livecd install?

Let the dmraid service to disable itself on the first run and remove the device-mapper-multipath package from Live CD. The idea of handling this in Anaconda is definitely interesting. As Vojta suggested, it would make more sense to remove unneeded packages at the end of the installation. We already track a request to remove the anaconda packages, so it is a use case that we plan to support in the future. It wouldn't require the mapping of storage packages to service names, which I find very fragile. However, it won't be trivial to implement such support in a robust and meaningful way and we are not really there yet. We are in a process of modularizing the Anaconda code and there are some missing pieces that we need to move with this further. > 2.

I guess that the script would be generated by the file https://pagure.io/fedora-kickstarts/blob/master/f/fedora-live-base.ks that belongs to the component spin-kickstarts. It means that no change is needed in Anaconda. You should probably talk to someone from Fedora Silverblue in this case, because they are trying to be as close to Fedora Workstation as possible.
