I'm concerned about disabling it and having unexpected behavior if the system actually does end up using all of its swap space. Any insight?
change the percentage threshold then. the idea is if you are swapping - its bad. though, if you also have a lot of free memory, its kind of absurd to block because there is a swap, but its not needed so it remains swapped.

I'm getting the following error trying to start a VM. I have 64 gb of RAM on this host. I got this error once before and found that my swap partition was only 2gb or so. I increased the swap size to 124GB and the problem went away. Below is the error when trying to start a VM and below that is what my output from "free -g". I don't see why I'm getting a swap file error when there's plenty of it available.
* Cannot run VM. Host swap percentage is above the defined threshold.
- Check your configuration parameters for Host Swap Percentage. * Cannot run VM. There is no host that satisfies current scheduling
constraints. See below for details: * The host USARPAOVRTHOST02 did not satisfy internal filter Memory.

what do you see under host general subtab for swap percentage?
iirc, you can either disable the swap check via the config EnableSwapCheck, or change the threshold via BlockMigrationOnSwapUsagePerce__ntage (which would be a confusing name if it affects RunVm and not only migration...)
