Question about the current gen 4 pi and the 1GB, 2GB, and 4GB options for video capture

Hello I do some VR and AR dev and have always toyed with spatial capture and 3D scanning. AS far as volumetric capture (not 3D still scanning) I've done tests with Xbox Kinects and ZED cameras and most recently switched over to a few Azure Kinect cameras.

I'm looking into possibly creating a camera capture rig (up to 100 raspberry pi HD cameras, the brand new 12MP version) AS I'm going over costs I've begun to look at where I could cut some corners as we are an indie studio. MY QUESTION:

How important is the additional ram options and how much will ram play a role in my video capture. I see the HD pi camera can shoot 30fps at 1920 and sometimes can do 60fps at 720. I read that the previous camera (8MP) could also shoot 1920x1080 @ 30fps and 720 @ 60fps with the previous Version 3 pi (which only had 1 GB available). So I'm trying to figure out how important that extra GB is budget wise? I just need to capture 1920 @ 30fps with the new 12MP HD pi camera without issue so I can stitch the footage together. I'm assuming the additional GB plays a role if I'm trying to do a heavy OS or to be used as a desktop machine? Also assuming, having additional GB wouldn't let me shoot at higher fps? What do you suggest is the needed GB for my use case? Thanks ahead of time, been diving down the RPI rabbit hole the last few months while doing research, very cool stuff being made and really awesome community!!
