I don't add real swap for years here now on my hardware. I just use zram for compressed swap in RAM which is still faster as Swap on a SSD.

You need more RAM occasionally when compiling heavy projects like Firefox, Chromium or LibreOffice. If you do heavy video editing (4k video editing) it might exceed the memory available and needs to use swap.
Swap is also used sometimes if you just start a lot of applications and don't tend to close them and just use standby to ram also so you don't turn off your laptop/pc basically. This might then also end up eating RAM.
For everything else day to day you might not need swap but I personally recommend you to just install the package zram-config just in case so that if you exceed RAM usage it will at least have something to swap to Smile
