I believe this is expected behavior. The Fade Geometry was designed to help animators see and select bones. This is not a regression as it happens in 2.81 and 2.80.

@Jeroen Bakker (jbakker) @William Reynish (billreynish) Do you agree? Or should we change this behavior?

@Clément Foucault (fclem) yes that was the intended behavior. The goal of the overlay was that animators in b2.79 were switching from solid to wireframe node to select bones. To optimize this workflow we introduced the Bone Selection Overlay. If you hover with the mouse over the toggle it still describes this as the Bone Selection Overlay.
