With my first Pi (3b), I was paranoid about wearing out the MicroSD card.

I created an NFS share on a NAS server, and mapped most of the Pi's /var 
partition out to it via fstab. I did other weird stuff moving other 
writeable partitions over to the NAS, thus I had a pretty busy network.

Worked well for years, however when I desired to update the OS, decided 
life was too short to go though all that again, and instead focused on 
an improved backup ritual for the card.
