Sure, if your working set always fits in RAM, you won't have problems. You wouldn't have problems with swap enabled, either.

It's only when you're consistently at the limit of how much RAM you have available that the differences start to matter. If you want to run a ~30GB +- 10% workload on a system with 32GB of RAM, then you'll get to find out how stable it is with VS without swap.
