Developer? I guess not. For a DevOps engineer? Probably yes. It's not impossible but having to spin up/down virtual and/or complex docker-compose configs to release RAM would slow you down considerably.

Even for a developer... When I'm in the middle of development I'm running two or three Vagrant / VirtualBox instances on my laptop, along with a handful of Visual Studio instances and that can easily chew up more than 16GB of RAM.
Doing Node development... Not such a big deal.
