Exactly.
A nightly differential bootable system image backup a la SuperDuper, Macrium Reflect, Acronis or the like + cheap external 3TB drive = zero downtime... if the SSD fails, boot from external, and schlep it while the SSD is repaired/replaced.
Time Machine is bonus for lost/overwritten local files. Source Control guards the jewels (you don't fear committing untested code to local branch, do you?)
