I don't think zero-g will be the norm. If people are going to be spending enough time in space there'll be efforts for at least partial gravity. Decades of the ISS and we still don't know how animals survive at 0.5g, get the feeling it will be fine but there's just no data.
That said, Starship isn't able to tether and rotate en route to Mars which is a bit fucked. Musk was saying it will be pointed directly at the sun 99% of the way to protect the tanks from heat.

0G is fucked, the effects on the body are horrendous, it messes with basically every biological system
At yet we still don't know anything about partial gravity. Or whether just getting in a centrifuge once a day slows down all the health problems.
The actual ISS module to test this stuff is now sitting in a fucking driveway after being cancelled reeeeee
