For what it's worth, I haven't configured swap on any of my systems for a
long while.
Memory is plentiful and so long as you operate within the bounds of your
physical memory then there's nothing to fear.
There may be some edge cases that I am personally unaware of where swap is
actually useful, but I haven't ran into any.

I know the above isn't much, but just a comment from my personal
perspective.
