I personally find it important for my productivity and happiness to max out RAM (and anything else that will keep me productive), but people make all sorts of different setups work.
Lots of people develop on 8gb of RAM, or even 4gb 😳 and I want to tell them all that there is a better way, but there's also no magic number where things get better. You're probably always going to find a way to trend towards the limits of your machine. FWIW 16gb seems like plenty most of the time, though I will likely be doing 64 in my next machine.

I'll definitely keep this in mind for the next one
