With only 8 GB of RAM would this be usable even for web browsing?

It's macOS. Yes, absolutely positively more than enough for web browsing plus a whole lot more, simultaneously.

If you do serious development, you might need to think about it.

I do serious development with local applications on my 16GB M2, and my current usage about 6GB. It goes higher when I run LLMs or VMs, and of course Xcode. Aside from iOS dev, I do not use an IDE.
