I feel like it's mostly been fixed. There are probably individual applications and setups that trigger excessive writes, so a reboot from time to time makes sense to kill any application that might be abusive (assuming it doesn't start on login).
At 5GB/day, a 1TB drive will last at least 10 years… assuming 5GB every day for 10 years, which is unrealistic. Apple will drop latest release OS support in 4-5 years… will you still be doing 5GB per day in that case? Probably not.
I honestly think that all SSD/NVME chips need to post their TBW so that people can make their own decision. I also feel like this would benefit Apple, since people will choose their storage solution based on lifespan and not size. Because while a 1TB drive might last 5-10 years, an 8TB drive will basically last forever. Feels like a good sales tactic, honestly, for those with anxiety about drive failure.
