I do and I strongly advise against getting 250GB boot drive, especially now in 2023. If it weren't for my tight budget that I had to stretch because of parts shortage in 2018, I'd borderline regret my choice but at least I had an excuse. Some 4 years of messing around with never having any space on boot, because despite my best efforts, a lot of software just defaults to C drive and won't install anywhere else. This adds up the more you use your PC and more install more and more stuff.

 

512GB is the bare minimum, especially if it's your only drive. My laptop has a 512GB SSD and that's enough space for what...? A single VM, once version of UE5, one or two projects and maybe a game or two adding up to a total of 40GB. Barely any new release is 40GB, many indie games even pushing like 10GB, 4 indie games isn't that many.
