Can you test somes values that are in between? Like, 512M, 1024M, etc,
until we know how much is actually required? If 512M is enough, I don't
see a problem with increasing the hard-coded value to that.

There are some use cases for this code that we'd like to work on
low-resource machines (`guix system vm`), and other use cases (like
building Docker images) that shouldn't be expected to work on machines
with limited RAM.

Yeah, maybe.
