No, that is not the right thing to do from the point of preservation of partition table.
partition tables that curtin doesn't know how to manipulate (ie. create table, create/change partitions) it should be emitted as unknown or frozen.
Kernel can parse the partitions, thus one can reuse those partitions.
A device without a partition table, is different to a device with an unknown partition table we don't know how to modify correctly.
Thus completely omitting partition table, seems, conceptually, to me like a lie.
