But you didn't say the laptop itself, which would be needed to know if it can upgrade at all, and if so, what its limitations are.

my laptop is acer E5-475G, and if im not wrong it is upgradable up to 32gb as what written on the website

That is what I find on it anywhere I have looked. So you should be OK to upgrade it. Just make sure you get the right kind of RAM. If it isn't the same as the original (other than GB size of course) then it may well not work. I have seen that happen a lot.

Also, since the device is new and still under warranty, I would be sure to check with the manufacturer that doing so won't void the warranty. I know that sounds wrong, but sadly I have seen manufacturers void a warranty for all kinds of things. They may require the upgrade be done through them, or one of their centers. If so, then it is up to you to decide if you want to do it yourself or not.

is it worth upgrading to 12gb/16gb rather than 8gb?

Depends on what you will be doing with it. If you are going to do say a lot of gaming with graphic intensive games, then yes it would be.
