I've used multiple Pis with SD cards for years. Not a single one card
failed so far. The SD card in my main system must be 4-5 years old.

I don't think so. Unless you you started tinkering and tweaking, moving
caches or whatever to a large RAM disk (hoping its content would never
exceed the disk's capacity!). But you'd likely spend more time trying to
get this to work as expected than it would take you time to set up a
system installation from scratch, recovering from a crash.
