per-user automount does not necessarily waste space
The thing which is mounted might be a sub-directory of a shared space.
Also, automount is not exclusively for user home directories. It's great
for selected program products.

A low end laptop has 250GB available. How much space should a z/OS

Please forgive the ignorant question, but does z/OS support quota in
any way other than a hard file system limit?
Some of my testing runs to (temporarily) 100GB+ for input and output
files. I run it on the PC because the space isn't available on the
mainframe, but It would be nice to be able to run it on z/OS. If you
get a few users with usage spikes to 100GB the space might not be so
trivial.
I've seen a few quota systems capable of allowing users to go above a
soft limit for an amount of time while still being bounded by an
absolute hard limit.
This soft limit allows users to burst for temporary things, usually
for single digit number of hours or days. Once the user exceeds the
time, their soft quota kicks in and behaves as if it's the hard limit.
