It’s less convenient when you are on the go, but you can pack an external SSD and offload stuff to it. A friend of mine had one velcroed to the back of the screen.
It's actually cheaper to own a MacBook Air for things that need to work 100%, like a coding interview, and then a secondary laptop when you're playing video games or making music .
That's basically what I do now, my old M1 MacBook air is more than good enough for LeetCode and I'm more or less know it's never going to fail.
