I've been running my daily development laptop on 64GB of RAM for 1,5 years. My anecdotal experience is that no, you don't need persistent storage for most things. In fact, often it's in your way -- it clutters the system over time by causing configuration errors and weird undefined program states. When you can just reboot and all works again it's great. Never going back.
