Yes, it has secondary benefits like not burning out SSDs and wearing out HDDs.

The drawbacks are that memory is kinda expensive in high amounts, and compilers love memory.

These days, “high amounts” is a lot more than most projects need - even ultra-portables have 8GB or more. Most projects don’t have unit test suites limited on file I/O measured in gigabytes unless they also have a budget.
