Well, not quite. Iirc the disintegration effect came about last minute when the director decided he needed a way to remove the bodies, to explain why other jaffa wouldn't see them and get suspicious.
It's why in the Wormhole Xtreme episode, they mock that exact premise when ~~O'Neill~~ Marty suggests it.
Edited, corrected below!
Technically Martin is the one who suggests it...
Ah you're right! I was thinking of a little bit later when O'Neill suggests the aliens are dead because they don't wear camouflage.
Time for a rewatch, I'm getting rusty!
Wasn't it just about the practicality of having bodies laying around the set? That makes sense in-universe though, but at least in the mockumentary meta episode (200th?) they give that reason, to clear the extras to make room essentially.
