When I am travelling, I have limited charging capabilities and want to continue working wherever I left - even if I did not open the laptop for 2 days. That only leaves hibernation. I had a linux laptop that could do that reliable, but for whatever reasons, the newer models of different brands I tried always had hickups and this is unaccaptable for me. I want to work with my laptop, not work on my laptop.

Suspend seemed to work out-of-the-box. I’m not sure how long the battery would last in suspend; the 12 hours estimate was with the screen on and wifi on, just not actively in use.
I just set up hibernate; since I don’t care about hibernate, I didn’t set up my swap partition large enough. Using a swapfile instead is slightly trickier but still pretty trivial. The steps listed here worked fine: https://askubuntu.com/a/1367244
