I just need a temporary laptop for 6 months until I am with my Pro, only need it for media consumption and web browsing, some note taking. Is 8 GB enough or is the laptop too slow without 16GB?

8GB will be just fine as a temporary device. Some people even live off of 8GB for a main device (technically I do, but different device), so you'll live until then.

8 gig will work just fine for your needs. The apps you list don't take that much memory and will easily fit within 8 gig along with MacOS. Go with the lowest you can get, therefore, the cheapest, until the 6 month expires. No use wasting money for something that will not be used. Apple charges a premium for extra memory, well, extra anything.
