The M3 is powerful enough that even 32GB can be a constraint for what you'd be able to run on it
That entirely depends on if what you’re running requires lots of ram or is more cpu bound. I wouldn’t conflate the two as directly related.
That's true, but unless you're 100% sure that you'll only ever run a workload that fits those specs, I think you'd rather like having the extra memory.
