The same question was raised here:
https://superuser.com/questions/1784162/nano-where-are-morespace-and-smooth-settings-gone

Short answer, it is now default behavior, option was retired. I
suppose it means adapt config file accordingly, because apparently
won't just ignore mystery options (no "nonstrict" option?).

From the changelog:
https://www.nano-editor.org/dist/latest/ChangeLog

  Changes between v5.6.1 and v5.7:
  ...
  options: retire the obsolete 'smooth', 'morespace', and 'nopauses'

Here we went from 4.9 to 8.0. Not yet the latest (8.4), an issue
preventing a successful build has yet to be resolved.
