The alternative to not having swap is a machine that on occasion could

but I doubt if it's pretty.
FreeBSD behaves fairly nicely when it runs out

Yes, have some swap. The system uses this space for more than swapping
out processes. It uses it for paging and for crash dumping. The
rule of thumb is 2.2 times memory size.
