Do you really need that amount of RAM when SSD and NVMe storage is so fast and high-bandwidth nowadays? Just add some swap space and be done with it. Wear and tear on the underlying Flash media is not the problem it once was, given how big SSD's are these days - and you can use SMART statistics to keep track of any emerging issue from that POV.

I need it when working with huge source trees. Windows sucks at that and extra memory that allows for more caching helps. Mac sucks less in that respect. Still git status on Intel MacBook Pro 2020 takes 2-3 seconds while on Thinkpad X280 from 2017 with Linux it took less than a second.
