Our code base creates around half a gig of compilation product on every build

500MB? That's tiny in comparison to available RAM today, so I would just say use a RAMdrive and periodically write to the SSD.

Indeed, my Ubuntu recently created multiple 22G log files several days in a row (some USB issue or other fixed by updating kernel). Wouldn't have been an issue but the disk was nearly full.
