I've seen success using RAMDisk instead of running entirely on SD card

RAMdisks also help significantly with maximizing the write endurance of the SD card.

Specifically for log files, I use Log2RAM which has a RAMdisk that mounts /var/log, and then periodically (based on schedule, defaulting to daily) flushes it to /var/hdd.log/

Agreed. It's an ugly hack to a problem that should not exist in the first place.

Normal level writes to os disk should not be a OS fatal situational in <year. No matter how you look at this it is not awesome.
