What are you concerned about and what are you preaching about in vague, motivational quotes? Have you even ever done any embedded software development in a shipping industrial product? The only industrial flash available at the time (SLC) and already spec'ed in the manufacturing BOM had a warranted cycle time of 10^5 writes. It was doing upwards of 10^6 just fine, but it would've taken months to get close to 10^7. The desired goal was to make the flash live 10-20+ years while writing log data to spare space including data points such as temperature, voltage, errors, etc. for as long as possible.
