We have been running builds on the same SSDs, doing intensive logging, ... for three years now.
None deteriorated. Builds are mainly scrap & write thousands of small files plus a few big ones (the targets). Write speed makes a huge difference for this kind of task. Aws allows to get VMs with SSDs of decent sizes and not to store only the OS. I think they would restrict usage if rewrites were a huge concern...
