I suggest to get the 3070 (or similar) for prototyping/testing your ideas. You can reduce VRAM usage by scaling down your data or training with smaller batch size etc. to see if your concept makes sense.
At some point you may run into VRAM or other hardware limitation issues. (you can't train with larger images for example). If that happens you can run training on colab or some other high performance hardware offer.
