I have a work server with 384GB of RAM, some swap on spinning rust, and a fairly old installation of Linux, and it has certainly had times when it has taken hours for the kernel OOM killer to sort the thing out. earlyoom was one of the first things I installed on it. I think the more RAM you have, the worse the OOM behaviour. I also think that recent versions of Linux are much better at this than they used to be.
