16GB recent MBP. With browser, slack, spotify, vscode, terminal, etc. etc. all running on Electron and taking 11GB+, I started swapping when more demanding compilation kicked in. Ended up merging some of those into browser tabs and replacing others with lightweight alternatives - no more swapping.
The CPU doesn't really matter here that much and older hardware with 32GB would do better - it's the memory that gets impacted the most. Running "an Electron app" is not a problem. Running the 8th Electron app is.
