N100/N95 with 16GB RAM maximum enough for Proxmox? - eviltoast

I want to move from my RPi4 to a mini server, for example Beelink Mini s12 Pro (N100+16GB DDR4 Ram) or Blackview Mini Pc MP80 (N95+16GB LPDDR5 RAM). Currently I run Homeassistant+Paperless NGX and I want to run a Linux Distro additionally in the future.

So, this processor type only supports up to 16GB (officially). Will this be enough for Proxmox? Or should I switch to a Ryzen CPU to get 32GB+?

And also, should I choose LPDDR5 instead of DDR4 RAM? Most mini-pcs offer DDR4 ?!

Sorry, but the amount of different configurations of mini-pcs is so overwhelming.

    I have 3x n100 16gb ram as proxmox cluster. Have bunch of VMs, containers going. So far, 3 months in and not one single issue. And all 3 going at full tilt still uses less power then my previous single server setup. One of these n100s even have 3x proxmox virtualized where I tinker with cluster, ha, ceph, zfs and other stuff … Like sandbox, before I move to live.
