You are right. My own anecdotal experience: Rails, Django, Elixir/Phoenix web development, sometimes with docker. No swap on my 32 GB laptop both when I used it with a 750 GB HDD in its early years and with two 1 TB SSDs now. I'm usually using about 20 GB RAM because I'm leaving every single project open in its own virtual desktop, to get there quickly if a customer needs something done. No problem whatsoever that I remember. I'm never close to filling up RAM, that could be the reason. I'd buy extra RAM instead of enabling swap. The price would be extra battery depletion during the night.
