So...I did a lot of experiments. And it turns out vRA doesn't support overprovisioning. 

Neither as a Cluster nor as a single ESXi. 

A ESXi host with 16GB can only have 16GB - ESXi Overhead, and a cluster 16GB - overhead - vCLI VM memory

This sucks quite hard, as the point of virtualization IS overprovisioning.
