Against RAM the much faster unified memory access shared across CPU/GPU processing with M1 Macs seems to cut previous memory requirements for most tasks on a computer. You might find this Max Tech video from July helpful.
I don't buy the M1 doesn't need as much RAM argument. If you need the RAM for your IDE or VM, an M1 does not change that.
