Nothing is controlled by php setup.
It is perfectly ok to not specify type-hints in your functions.

both of these are fine:

    function a($var) {}

    function b(int $var) {}


you just keep using syntax of "a" and everything works. you CAN
specify typehint like in "b" but you don't have to.

p.s. if something is still not clear, let's take this talk away from list
