Yes, but it's a minor benefit.

Technically yes. More RAM means the system has to write to the swap file less often, which reduces write cycles on the SSD. But that’s like saying wearing softer shoes reduces wear on your socks – technically true, but not why you’re buying the shoes.

Modern SSDs can handle hundreds of terabytes of writes before dying. Unless you’re swapping gigabytes every minute (e.g., running 20 VMs on 8GB of RAM), the wear from swapping is negligible. You’d replace the SSD for capacity or speed long before write endurance becomes an issue.

The real reason to get 32GB is so you don’t have to close apps when they get hungry. Swap file wear is a side effect, not a goal. If you’re worried about SSD lifespan, look at your backup strategy instead.

Future You will thank you for the RAM, but the SSD will be fine either way.
