Yes, in our experience, static allocation means we use sometimes 10x less memory. For example, TigerBeetle's storage engine can theoretically address up to 100 TiB with less than 1 GiB of RAM for the LSM in-memory manifest, which is efficient.

Because we think about memory so much upfront, in the design phase, we tend not to waste it.
