The situation of base 8GB macbooks wearing down their SSD in the hands of power users is well documented but it's extremely specific.
Normal users with 8GB and power users with >= 16GB indeed have no SSD problems because they swap very infrequently

I can't really find it documented much at all. Conducting a web search reveals that 90% of the user documented concern around this has nothing to do with actual failures but "I'm worried about my SSD failing" or "Will your SSD fail?" discussion. If it is rare, extremely specific, etc. then I think that bolsters the case that it doesn't make sense to increase base RAM out of that concern alone.
