[?]: This bug persists when memory is increased beyond 8GB.
I Couldn't test it, but I doubt wrong download link is connected to RAM amount

Correct link seems to be:

https://github.com/netbootxyz/asset-mirror/releases/download/12.01-046a7ade/airootfs.sfs

For some reason it tries to download from /12.01-046a7ade/sysresccd/x86_64/ instead of /12.01-046a7ade/x86_64/

Tested on both QEMU and ODROID-H4 PLUS
