Sure, but encounters in cramped corridors are never really a problem or occur that often, and so don't necessitate fireball usage. It's always about dealing (hueg) AoE damage to a lot of creatures, a 10 foot wide corridor isn't the most likely candidate or the place where a party could be challenged 99% of the time. Fireball is a symptom, not the cause, it's just a very widely known one.
It has nothing to do with tight corridors. Fireball, RAW in AD&D, does not have a radius — it has a volume. A very large volume. Unless the dungeon is absolutely massive, you will be blowing yourself up because it's supposed to expand to fit.
