Some anecdotal experience about Raspberry Pi and SD cards. Mine has been running for 4 years with a 32GB SD card and 0 SD cards have died so far.

It is controlling some relays and running a nextcloud. Initially I checked the iotop and noticed there were regular writes to SD card when idling. Configured the ext4 to stop that.
