I have been setting up Zram, Swap, Swappiness and EasyOOM daemon on 16gb ram boxes, or lower. Someone asked me about 32gb of ram, or more, and I’m unsure. Wondering if others have experimented with this!

Shouldn’t total ram amount always be powers of 2 (forgot the reason exactly) ? It sounds like 32 +16 wouldn’t be ideal ? I remember that from my early days, but maybe it has changed ?
That is correct, IIRC, the mismatch does limit how much of it can run in dual-channel. Even if a single stick is natively 24 or 48 GB, there is additional strain on the memory controller. It is the way it is on my setup since I had planned an upgrade to a full 64 GB and was holding off until a good deal on the remaining 32 GB kit, which will never come unless the AI bubble bursts.
There are some 24GB sticks around, same with 48GB sticks
