Oh, so WRITE SAME doesn't come with "no wear leveling" semantics? That makes emulation much more reasonable.

I think the only way to get "no wear leveling" is the ATA Secure Erase command. Which you only need for devices that do wear leveling in the first place which the drive in question doesn't anyway so it's a bit moot.
