Are you concerned at all about the raspi’s sd card corrupting/failing? I’d feel like this would always be at the back of my mind

You don't have to run a Pi from an SD card nowadays, and shouldn't do if you can help it. They've supported USB boot for a while and the Pi5 can also boot from an NVMe SSD hooked up to the exposed PCIe lane.

As others have said, Pi now supports USB boot. An inexpensive USB to sata adaptor and a 128GB SSD (~$15) is the most inexpensive option to get started and performs very well.

This happened to me Tuesday September 28th 2001 at 3:30pm. I know because I never rewrote the complicated e-paper code that I lost when my SD card died without a backup :(
