Do you have any links that note memory usage issues with any of the semi-recent EF Core versions?

If you don't do stupid things like requesting everything from the database and then filtering data client side, then no.
We have one application built on .NET 8 (and contemporary EF) with about 2000 tables, and its memory usage is okay. The one problem it has is startup time: EF takes about a minute of 100% CPU load to initialize on every application restart, before it passes execution to the rest of your program. Maybe it is solvable, maybe not, I haven't yet had the time to look into it.
