For this 8gb is fine though right? I get the idea - we want Apple to push the bar. But my 2011 4gb MacBook Air with Catalina does those things fine... swapping to an SSD is reasonably fast.

Yes - I'm developing on an 8gb 2013 MacBook Air - I'd like more RAM, but it is about doable.

But in general MacBook Airs are not developer or video editing machines and they're not speced for that.
