Get the 32GB variant: RAM is often the limiting factor for being able to still use an old machine. Now that these get soldered on, better dial it up a notch.

Is it?
I'm seriously asking because usually I crank up the RAM when I buy a new device but I'm not at all sure that's something that has benefited me as far as longevity goes.
It will only benefit you if the rest of the machine, especially the physical body is durable enough. I went with framework in the hope I will never have to be worry about that in the future. Has held up with its promises so far.
