You give no information about what the machine is gonna do.
Do you actually expect "intensive I/O" in /tmp or /var?
I have been running my home router/dns/mx out of a 4GB CF card
since 2009, treating it as any other installation,
and never had a single problem.
Unless you have a specific reason not to,
treat your CF card as any other disk.
