Spec-wise, yes, a 512GB SSD would be better, but if you know 256GB is enough for your needs, then no need to fret.
It's really more a matter of VALUE. Specs vs Price. Aka, can you get the same or better specs in a different machine for less $$
Several options are available at different price points. The first listing offers an i5-11400H with RTX 3050, 16GB RAM and a 512GB SSD. Another choice is the Ryzen 7 5800H with 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD and RX5500M. A Dell model features an i5-11260H with 8GB RAM and a 256GB SSD. The i7-1165G7 comes with 8GB RAM and a 512GB SSD. A Dell model also includes a 699 i5-1135G7 with 8GB RAM and a 512GB SSD. Additional deals can be found on techbargains for more models.
The laptop you possess should suffice for your requirements. Should it have 256 gigabytes or can you opt for a lower capacity? Additionally, do you have any preference regarding the operating system? A budget-friendly ChromeBook would indeed provide durability and basic functionality for a long time.
