This would probably only be relevant with that little 8GB drive that you paid $1000 for in 2004... with modern SSDs it's unlikely that typical use would ever wear out the cells.
SSDs as a whole are still pretty flaky. A current drive is more likely to just die completely than go "read only" because you wrote to it too many times.
