The memory target (and <1G is too small by far) is only directing the
things that *can* be tuned, there are other things the OSD needs
memory for which are not optional and those will take memory even if
you set the limits to X GB. Also, while you may find some lower limit
that works in some fashion, later events such as
rebalancing,recovery,backfills and upstart-checks *will* need more
memory even if only temporarily.

What you are setting is more or less like setting the autopilot engine
level on an airplane at the cruising altitude, it does *not* control
how much engine is needed for take-off, landings or emergencies.
