None of that seems to be high loads or stuff that needs a lot of ram.

Not individually, no. Though it's often done simultaneously.

That said you're right about lots of RAM in that I wouldn't bother using the 8GB M1 Air for Docker or running LLMs (it can run SD for images though, but very slowly). Partly that's why I have the Lenovo. You need to pick the right machine for the job at hand.
