In any case, RAM failure is rare enough that quadrupling its chances is not gonna make any meaningful difference. Even if it does, RAM is the easiest thing to replace in a PC. Don’t even need to go offline while waiting for a new stick. Someone who’s got the cash to build that thing in the first place won’t be too upset by the cost of another 32gb stick either, I don’t think.
Well, anecdotal evidence of course but with the exception where a PSU blew up (and damaged a whole lot of things) I only ever have had RAM stick problems since like -95. Three times. Over some 30-40 PCs.

Twice, because usually it’s two sticks.
