So, what apps out there would benefit from more than 4 GB RAM?
I saw an artificial action that somebody created that would crash a 4 GB iPad Pro but worked fine on a 6 GB iPad Pro, because it needed over 5 GB RAM to run (with 3.4 GB from the app alone). But it seemed to be just a proof of concept.

However, I have seen mention that Procreate is RAM limited so that on 4 GB iPads the amount of layers you can add is much less than you can on 6 GB iPads.
I also have seen mention that with rare games, a maxed out video setting will stutter on the iPad Pro 3rd gen with 4 GB but not on a iPad Pro 3rd with 6 GB.
I also see that LumaFusion 2.0 was just displayed at NAB 2019, and it's looking to be a beast.

In LumaFusion 1.x it supports 3 video tracks, but in LumaFusion 2.0 coming this year, it will support 6 simultaneous video tracks. That's pretty impressive for an iPad. Furthermore, 2.1 will bring export of LumaFusion projects to Final Cut X. Given this level of functionality, I'm guessing to max it out you'll need 6 GB RAM.
The other one I wonder about is Photoshop that's coming this year.
What else benefits from or will benefit from more than 4 GB RAM?
