I burned through 3 SD cards (even "endurance" SD cards) before I finally switched to an NVMe over USB for my HA RaspPi. I highly recommend the switch even if you aren't having card failures. The performance improvement alone makes it worthwhile.

I've had my HA running on an RPi with a regular A1 SD card for close to 3 years now, and my ZWave log file is spammed and my database is 2GB, so not lack of activity.
I did experience some issues initially, but found it was due to a poor USB "charging" cable, it had 1 Ohm resistance! After swapping that it's been just smooth sailing.
I do take frequent backups to my NAS just in case though.

i jad a lot of problems at some point with the rPi staying running and the sd cards. i ended up moving them to a differn circut in my house when i suspected that it was overloaded and causing minor brown outs (this was older wiring with the slow trip fuses not a modern breaker)
everything cleared up after that and no problems since.
The OS is running off a SD card, and despite the horror stories I hear about them wearing out and dying, mine's been running for a couple years now without issue. I've been planning to replace it with a SSD or NVMe drive and USB adapter, but never seem to get around to it.
As for guides, honestly can't remember using any. I just followed the openHAB install guide (I assume HA has something similar) and went from there, DDG'ing and looking on forums for solutions to problems.
