6gb-12gb is great depending on players/plugins/mobs Can bump up to 16gb (for big servers), but anything over is overkill and can actually hurt performance

How's he supposed to allocate 12GB ram to an instance with 8GB?

Oop I misunderstood I thought he already had a server with 8gb and wonder what the best practice was (ie. If he needed to change it)

I got an server with 8gb, with 6.5gb allocated to the server This way you can run the server and still do things on the rig, like installing plugijs

I plan to make whitelisted server with 15-20 plugins and 20 players active at one time is 6.5gb ok?

I have no clue, are the plugins heavy? Are all players in the same spotM ?

If you preload your world with chunky, you can expect way less ram/cpu usage from generating worlds. I am not totally sure about the 20 players though. On my home server, a max of 6 players have ever joined simultaneously, so I can't say anything about that.
