I haven't had much trouble with the SD cards. The thing is, writing to them all the time means your chances of corrupting the filesystem is higher (like any filesystem). I would try to make the filesystem read-only as much as possible. There are settings for this.

I am aware of the write endurance problems of sd cards, but I've had numerous cards that are cooked fresh out of the box, even from 'good' manufactures like Samsung. I don't like having to do binning for the manufacturer.

My experience so far is that cheap small storage (usb thumb drives and sd cards, essentially) should be bought in person from a reputable store.

Those I’ve acquired this way worked well, those I’ve brought off online stores almost always had problems or short lives (or both).
