This is so far(04:13:32 UTC) the best answer to my question, just because most other comments seems to be 'I use 16GB, so it should be fine' disregarding 'assuming you previously had at least 32GB RAM' part of the question.
Thank you for your time writing this detailed comment.
Few things which caused degraded performance were obvious e.g. tabs, VM.
But things which surprised me,
> * vpn seems to slow things down a bit
With great single core performance and WiFi-6 I would have expected networking to fine.

Digging further, Bluetooth/WiFi/USB issues seems to documented by others as well[1] unfortunately these gets buried under other reviews following a common narrative for M1 macs.
