Yes, you save when the app transfers to the GPU the scene description. scene. But the GPU also uses a lot of memory to render the scene for each frame. And that is a lot of memory used by the GPU which now draws from RAM available to the CPU.

So you insult what I say but are unable to provide any real information to show I was wrong. hint: look at RAM config for the M1 vs Intel version of MacBook pro. Both have the in-CPU GPU. BTW, someone mentione the M1 macs have 3733MHz LPDDR4X RAM. This RAM spec is for the Intel version of the MacBook Pro 13". All Apple says for the M1 is "unified memory".

As it is on many Macs that have shared GPU memory with the intel chip as
they use intel graphics. See this a lot in various MBA's and some Mac
Minis. Possibly lower spec 21" iMacs too (I haven't looked).

This is neither. In any case, it depends on the use case. For many
people 8 GB is oodles (browsing, some office apps, e-mail and the like).
16 GB would be a bare minimum for my home computer but 8 GB is more than
enough at work even with a VM.

The extra RAM will cost you (I'm in Canada) about $250CAD, so that's $50 per year to ensure the machine has what it will need for the latter part of its life.

Aren't the RAMs still soldered in? If so, then you might as well go as big as
you can afford. Same for storage. :(
