You're right with the single DIMM slot, but it can be configured with
one DIMM of 16 GiB like I did for the notebook on my desk:
*-memory
description: System Memory
physical id: 8
slot: System board or motherboard
size: 16GiB
*-bank
description: SODIMM DDR3 Synchronous 1600 MHz (0.6 ns)
product: 16KTF2G64HZ-1G6A1
vendor: Micron
physical id: 0
serial: 17538116
slot: ChannelA-DIMM0
size: 16GiB
width: 64 bits
clock: 1600MHz (0.6ns)
So, the x250 could still fit your requirements.

I do not have information about the hardware the x260 will bring but
you may expect standard peripherals (e.g., AHCI and
keyboard/trackpoint) to work after some tweaking while the Intel
graphics driver and audio will potentially need more effort. I suggest
you to stick to the x250 for now except you're willing to potentially
spend significant effort to enable the more stubborn devices.
