No, you aren't. There are many Tramp users running a remote shell in
Emacs. But this is not the majority of Tramp users ...

I do not want to write an example which does not use the default. People
tend to copy example lines, and I want to encourage them using the default.
As compromise, I have rephrased the manual:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
When using zsh on remote hosts, disable zsh line editor
because zsh uses left-hand side and right-hand side prompts
in parallel. Add the following line to ‘~/.zshrc’:
[[ $TERM == "dumb" ]] && unsetopt zle && PS1='$ ' && return
This uses the default value of ‘tramp-terminal-type’,
‘"dumb"’, as value of the ‘TERM’ environment variable. If
you want to use another value for ‘TERM’, change
‘tramp-terminal-type’ accordingly.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Best regards, Michael.
