Locally I doubt it will need more than 2GB of RAM, but come on it is 2022 and nigher GNOME or KDE run with 2GB of memory, if you have so low memory there are other distributions. It needs a lightweight http server which can consume ~50-100MB and a WebView to display for another 200MB.

The text based interface allows this and it isn't going anywhere. Only the GTK3 frontend is going to be replaced by the Cockpit/Web based one. Backed will remain the same (more or less) and kickstart and text interface will still be available.

However, I'm willing to bet they are launching some version of Chromium plus a web server back end to make this work, so it does use more RAM than the previous setup will. This is squarely aimed at IoT and server installs, yes, thank you for everyone* thinking they're Google and require such over designed and engineered software.
*enough everyones to come up with this bloated nonsensical install system and approve it.
