You can choose SLC (or limited MLC) and overprovisioning to make flash storage quite reliable, and perhaps even preferable to disk in some respects. But that comes with severe compromises in density and you're still vulnerable to bugs in the opaque, proprietary Flash Translation Layer, which has no equivalent in (non-SMR) hard disks.
