Current consumer SSDs even with developer / power user usage patterns should be able to run for at least 30 years before the flash is no longer guaranteed to work (1000 block wipes). The write amplification problem was mostly for the first naive SSD implementations that would do a block wipe cycle on every write. These naive SSDs have about 4 IOPS of 4K random write, you'll notice that.
