Yes, it should be nil just as it was in beginning.

But there is one problem that I encountered since that was introduced,
namely I do like properties being indented under the first letter of
heading or on 3rd place.

Like this below, however, C-c C-x p will create properties indented
only if org-adapt-indentation is t

* Heading
  :PROPERTIES:
  :ARCHIVE:  new
  :END:

But if org-adapt-indentation is nil, it will be like:

* Heading
:PROPERTIES:
:ARCHIVE:  new
:END:

and I remember that behavior before the introduced change was that
properties were intended, which does look nicer for properties.

But I definitely do not prefer cursor to come indentend after writing a header 
like:

* Heading
  C
  ursor on C
