Or you use more than the 8GB of RAM and have to swap...

Although I also wouldn't be surprised if Apple "updated" the current 256GB M1 Air they still sell to use a single flash chip like the M2 models.

Even with reasonable amounts of swapping you are unlikely to notice huge differences. Only if you are thrashing the memory, you surely would. But then just getting more memory would be a very wise investment.
