After using an M2 MacBook Air with only 8gb for the past few years, I really wouldn’t worry about the ram. Now that 16gb is the base model you’ll be fine, you won’t ever need to upgrade it.
Seriously macOS just doesn’t use a ton of ram and it handles ram pressure extremely well. I do a most of my development work on only 8gb of ram
