>RAM 16GB DDR5 + 8GB GDDR6 VRAM

Hmm. Not that it is big deal, but I would be somewhat worried about true longevity with the VRAM. Not sure if SteamOS helps there, but on PC some new titles are going over the 8GB VRAM.

You always have the option of streaming a game, though.

8 GB is good enough for most everything, and can you stream on an exception basis, if something truly demanding catches your eye.

It should be good enough for any game with a toggle on textures quality, which is pretty much every big title for the foreseeable future?
