My swap (with 48 days of uptime) is 3-4GB. Just because it's in swap doesn't mean it's actively writing/reading from the swap.
Here's a graph of my swap over time, and ALSO how much swap reads and writes over the course of an hour.

Memory swap isn't bad.. It's like a tiered memory storage... It's only bad if it's actively trying to utilize the swap with read/writes, but it takes a lot of those to hurt the ssd.
This is with discord + vscode + spotify + chrome + occasional FT. 8gb M1 256gb.

8GB on an M1 is not a problem at all, it is much more memory efficient than Windows PCs with 16GB+.
M2, based on how they are pricing the M2 MBAs are going to be $200 more. Not worth it for that minor bump.

That said, it's two years old and a M2 announcement is pretty likely (Oct. is my guess, though I've been wrong before). I'd say if you can wait, you should wait (that's what I'm doing).

I figured they "applefied" it to be more efficient but is there an option to get a version with more ram? From a business perspective, I want something that's going to last longer than 3-4 years. My MacBook Pro is from 2015 and still runs great.

Wait for what? M2 is only 20% better, I doubt the M2 would be priced only 20% more than this deal right now
We'll see though but I doubt Apple will keep the same price
most reviews i've seen people regret not going 16gb.
