Frustrating that the laptop has 8 GB of RAM soldered, it means that no matter how much RAM you put in it, you'll only get 16 GB in dual channel.

this is 32GB soldered : LPDDR5x-6400, Dual-Channel, onboard

What are the workloads that become worse with unequal ram modules?

Examples include gaming using the integrated GPU and using software like whisper.cpp / llama.cpp.

They both handle gigabytes of data, and typically bottlenecked with memory throughput.

According to the spec sheet, they come in models up to 32GB soldered: https://psref.lenovo.com/syspool/Sys/PDF/ThinkPad/ThinkPad_T...

I'm sorry, I had the T14 up on Lenovo's site, not the T14s. It looks like the T14s has no RAM sockets, and they only sell it with 16 GB of soldered RAM (unless there's a way to special order it or something). https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/p/laptops/thinkpad/thinkpadt/th...

in Europe - you can by 32GB version from the shops.
