Regarding "I am, however, skeptical that there is any problem getting
enough DRAM bolted to modern CPUs"

This is true, but there (sadly) is large difference between what the
hardware is capable of, what the incredible cheap cost is.... versus some
infrastructure manager stuck in the 90's quibbling over an extra 16G to
bring the server up to a "ridiculous" 48G....

sigh....

I know some clients who are "excited" at multitenant as a way of reducing
their total SGA and they remain excited no matter how many times you tell
them just to head down the local IT shop and ffs just buy more RAM.....
