Feel like you'd be lucky to get single stick because the performance difference is marginal and you have the opportunity to upgrade it to 32GB by buying just 1 16GB stick.

    My understanding is that DDR5 is very sensitive to matched pairs of modules. I don't think you can rely on individually purchased sticks working together. Not to say that it can't work, but it might be a crapshoot.

    You can if you buy the same spec. People often don't read the notes on what they buy, I think that's the problem.

    Even modules sold under the same model number may use chips from a different manufacturer, or have a different PCB layout. These differences can make some modules incompatible with otherwise seemingly identical modules.
