Sure. I just don't see myself needing more than 8GB RAM, especially w/ fast NVMe drives as swap. It's a simple NAS running Jellyfin (max 1-2 clients) and a handful of other services.

If I need more RAM, chances are I'll also need more CPU as well, in which case a larger upgrade is in order. If I truly only need more RAM, I could pretty easily move some services to an SBC like a Raspberry Pi.

It's certainly a bummer, but not a deal breaker. If the price is right and I can find inexpensive enough NVMe drives, I can compromise a bit on RAM.

especially w/ fast NVMe drives as swap

These won't be fast, as detailed in the OP:

Since Intel’s Alder Lake-N processors only have 9 PCIe lanes which have to be shared between the SSDs and other hardware, the M.2 slots include five PCIe 3.0 single-lane connections, and one PCIe 3.0 x2 connection

PCIe 3.0 is 1 GB/s per lane. So nothing life changing, but still reasonably fast (way faster a HDD). If you rarely need swap, you should be fine for the few times you do.

Fair enough, mate. Good luck.
