Those will still eventually die due to log being written to the card using all available read/write cycles.

You mean /var/log or filesystem log? What about using non-journaling filesystems or keeping /var/log on a ramdisk?

That's a problem that will eventually affect any flash solution -- SD card, SSD, or USB flash.
