I think by now, the performance and price of SSDs makes them an obvious choice for almost everyone for their PC/laptop. Even pre-NVME SSD's made boot times significantly faster, it's almost night and day. However if you store highly sensitive information that you don't want to lose, then I'd always be looking at a secondary storage location regardless of the medium. From my personal experience, I have used SSD's for around 7 years now, back when even 128GB wasn't cheap. I haven't had a problem. But I have also had a 3.5" HDD in my little server running non-stop for almost 8 years now and it's still going strong.
