I noticed this being added a few weeks ago:

Anyone knows how supported is this / when is it going to get switched on by default?
It is as supported as anthing else in Tumbleweed. Using dash as default doesn't make any sense, this would only mean one more shell beside bash and increasing the system without benefit
Using dash as the default shell is meant to help avoid bashisms, i.e. bash-specific shell code which would break on other shells if a user decided to replace bash as their default shell. Defaulting to dash for system scripts is actually a pretty sensible thing to do. Adrian
