I regularly run Docker containers, VMs, IDEs, and two web browsers on both an Intel Mac Pro and an M3 Mac Pro. I believe they both have 16GB of RAM. I have never bothered to check my RAM usage because I've never had the computer slow down or stop working because it ran out of RAM. (Intel Mac certainly feels bottlenecked sometimes by CPU, though.)
