I have similar experience with SanDisk and Samsung EVO+. 9 Pi's (not raspberry) running continuously for ~2 years. No kernel panics/PostgreSQL failures. I run with data checksuming enabled. I also disabled options in PostgreSQL that cause periodic and unnecessary write activity.

Frequent regular updates, periodic database activity (web scraping, environment monitoring, ...). Running on F2FS.

I have logical replication setup in PostgreSQL, because I don't trust the SD cards anyway, but I have had no issues so far.

I came here to suggest f2fs. Glad to see you're already doing that.

It works surprisingly well and it makes many operations faster than ext4. I noticed it especially when doing system updates.

And I've just read yesterday, that F2FS in Linux 4.17 will have further optimizations for low end systems. Yay.
