But then it turned out not to be the load at all. No matter what I ran on that Pi, it would corrupt its SD cards in a matter of weeks (the symptom was that the fourth bit of some bytes would just stick on). I assume it was just something broken in the Pi itself. You can simply root off of a

Ditto on Pi taking more amps than advertised. Another catch though are counterfeit SD cards. I only recently learned about them from a friend and YouTube video but they can get into online stores sometimes without the seller even knowing.
