The only time I've managed to overload my M1 Pro Macbook Pro with 32GB of RAM is when I overprovisioned on RAM and caused excessive amounts of swapping to occur. Keeping my resources under control, I can run upwards to simulated 10 node data clusters with loads and extracts running, among other activity, and be able to do other things while that runs in the background. Keeping resources under control is going to be paramount to any system, let alone something not designed for this kind of workload. Even when I let resource usage go a bit out of control I've never had it lock up. Early on, I had USB related system crashes, but those went away as updates were released.
