After preventing several GNOME components from starting, HTOP Mem usage dropped from 980M to 439M. Services were masked and apps were moved. A forum member suggested wiki.archlinux.org/title/XDG_Autostart ("It's called freedesktop autostart, they're probably in /etc/xdg/autostart").
Only run commands in a test VM until comfortable that all used apps work properly. Performance and connectivity to printers/scanners/network devices could be a problem.
