While I don't have an M1 and I use Windows I did make a video the other week around the topic of what it's like doing full time web development / ops work / 1080p video creation with 16GB of RAM.
The TL;DR is 16GB holds up really nicely in most cases. That's also with running WSL 2 which is something you wouldn't need to do on macOS so in theory memory usage should be even more efficient on macOS.
