Your statement about Linux systems "Hating" having their power pulled is generally false. Think of all the devices in your life that run Linux that have their power pulled and never skip a beat...wireless routers, car computers, the RoboRIO, phones, Smart TV's.

Yes, most of the guides I followed on how to make the file system read only said to disable swap in the boot config.
