for me 16gig is definitely not enough.

I'm on a 36gb M3 and I have to reboot it every three to five days to have it behave again.

I have normal dev apps open: a browser with jira, another with testing, another with documentation, an ide, teams, calendar, zoom.. it adds up very, very quickly. 16gigs are gone in the blink of an eye

If you have to reboot to get it useable again instead of just killing and re-launching the applications there's something wrong with the OS, not with the applications. Have you tried killing and re-launching the browsers and pseudo-browsers (Teams etc.)?
