What is the downside of too much ram?

Adding too much RAM will eventually jeopardize the computer's performance, even when you have enough of it. The additional RAM will start applying the law of diminishing returns at a certain point, meaning you won't get much value from it.

Is 3600mhz ram good for ryzen 9 5900x?
It should work fine but some kits especially 32gb kits may cause issues (I run mine at 2666 MHz and don't even get me started on those Kingstons that I removed from my PC)...

Is 64gb ram excessive?
For gaming, 64GB of RAM is definitely overkill. For editing/streaming/recording, unless you're doing extremely demanding resolutions, 64GB is probably overkill there as well.

Can minecraft run smoothly on 4gb ram?
Yes, this is by far enough ram to run Minecraft. I spent about 4 years on a machine with 4gb RAM, and I can assure you that the only issue with that amount of RAM is trying to do more things at the same time (chrome + game for example), but even then the main issue with Minecraft is the graphics.
