I would be interested in having this subject clarified again.

I'm playing with 3.1.15 and I have not configured cache_dir. Hence, all my
hits can only be from memory.

Look at those numbers for example (very idle system, I agree):



You can see no storage but still 99.6% of the hits are marked Disk hits and
0.4% are marked as Memory hits.

Can someone please help me understand the numbers here?

There are many types of hits. REFRESH_UNMODIFIED, IMS_HIT, etc. most of these are not separated out from a generic "all hits" statistic.

MEM_HIT is only the hits served from memory which required no validation or special handling. The label "Disk hits" is a bit misleading.

NP: if you are actually getting "TCP_HIT" specifically in the access.log that would indicate there is still a disk cache_dir somewhere. Or a bug in the label marking, which is not unsurprising since the labeling system is a bit old/fragile.
