Yeah I mean, I know what you mean but this is where it gets into circular reasoning. I will always have operations groups move the workload to a node that has more memory if that is what is needed. In my case having swap on disk would require it to be encrypted due to contracts requiring any customer data touching a disk to be encrypted but I just avoid that all together and just add more memory. If 2TB or RAM isn't enough then they get 3TB and so on. We pushed vendors and OEM's to grow their motherboard capacity. At some point application groups just get more servers.

Yeah, that seems like a reasonable approach for your case!
