I've had my 256GB SSD + 16GB RAM M1 MBA for a little over 2 months now. There was one time that I noticed a strangely large amount of swap usage for no discernible reason, and rebooted immediately. Otherwise, swap doesn't seem to be used that often.

I really don't understand why Apple is apparently incapable of making these laptops use standard, replaceable m.2 NVMe SSDs.

Seeing this thread made me concerned, but it looks like my SSD isn't something to be worried about yet:
