Not sure what Pi you have, but if it's a 4, have you thought about going with
USB instead of SD card?  I've currently got my BBS running on a RPi 4 with
everything on a USB drive.  128 GB flash drive the size of my thumbnail plugged
into one of the USB 3.0 ports.  Works fine, and I don't have to worry about
read/write cycles.
