Just add the > space that you would have used for /tmp to your swap. The *default* limit for tmpfs is half of physical RAM (swap is not counted). So *if* tmp-on-tmpfs is left at the defaults then increasing physical RAM might be necessary. I haven't bothered to look at how tmp-on-tmpfs is implemented in systemd though.
