Hi,

I tried with the /proc/sys/vm/overcommit_memory=2 and the system refused to
load the program altogether.

In this scenario is making overcommit_memory=2 a good idea?

It will refuse to load the program if that would use enough memory that
the system cannot be sure it will not run out of memory having done so.
You probably need a lot more swap.
