Brand SD cards are quite reliable. If you configure your SW to avoid sources of needless constant write churn (eg. like postgresql stats collector), and use good power supply, they will last years.

You're absolutely right. I've running these SD cards for about 2 years now. I use log2ram to stream logs to a ramdisk and then sync that at regular intervals to disk, to extend the life of the SD cards.
