Yes, we can specify only "crashkernel=X,high".

This is mentioned in Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt

        crashkernel=size[KMG],low
                        [KNL, X86-64] range under 4G. When crashkernel=X,high
                        is passed, kernel could allocate physical memory region
                        above 4G, that cause second kernel crash on system
                        that require some amount of low memory, e.g. swiotlb
                        requires at least 64M+32K low memory, also enough extra
                        low memory is needed to make sure DMA buffers for 32-bit
                        devices won't run out. Kernel would try to allocate at     <---------
                        least 256M below 4G automatically.                         <---------
