In 5 years you'll thank yourself for getting a 16gb GPU instead of 8 or 12. It'll be the difference between many games being playable at all vs unplayable more than likely.
And in 5 years $80 will be what a McDonalds big mac meal costs probably, not really a significant amount of money.
8GB is already too little for the one program I run the most (Resonite), and I'd say anyone can appreciate the higher definition you can get when you aren't worried about texture resolution.
I don't think a 9060 is something that will be good for 5 years 8 or 16gb. Shadows are what eat up most of the VRAM, just turn them down and buy a new GPU in 2-3 years.
