I've disabled swap on MacOS. Works fine with just 16 GB. That's with Spring STS and at least one 2GB virtualbox for running ArangoDB. I do use Safari so it uses less memory than Chrome. I shut it off because, in my opinion, OSX is pretty shitty at memory management. It swaps for no good reason. I've had 6 GB free and still using 1.6 GB of swap. That shouldn't happen.
