Enterprise users increase the logging and I've never heard of premature SSD failure due to this. The event log is capped in size (adjustable). It's nominally < 100MB.
Your games continually dumping GBs of data into local cache on the other hand...
Im sure this can be automated, but I want to see what Im disabling instead of going bulk all.
