Regression
No
SerializeField list objects are not initialized with class/struct default values when adding objects in the Inspector window
How to reproduce:
1. Open the attached 'project-442732.zip' project
2. In the Hierarchy window select 'Test'
3. In the Inspector window set the 'Test Data' array size to 1
Expected result: new TestData object is initialized with its default values (someFloat = 30f, someBool = true, someInt = 10)
Actual result: new TestData object is initialized with default variable type values (someFloat = 0f, someBool = false, someInt = 0)
Reproducible with: 2018.4.23f1, 2019.3.15f1, 2020.1.0b10, 2020.2.0a12

Resolution Note:
When the first element is added to an array via SerializedProperty it is allocated by zeroing the memory rather than calling the constructor. And when adding additional elements it copies the previous element. We will consider changing that behavior as part of future quality improvement work in the area of SerializedObject/SerializedProperty but also wary of any possible performance and backward compatibility impact for changing this behaviour.
