dunno if it have any use in modern hardware. ssd firmware should allocate sectors itself to prevent wearing.
Not on sticks.

is there anybody that wear a stick, here?
(real question)
FWIW, I installed four Intel ssdsa2sh064g1gc 64-GB SSD's in two servers in 2008, eleven years ago. I connected them in pairs to 3-Ware raid controllers and configured them as RAID-1 mirrors. I used the mirrors as the root partitions. I was aware of the write issue, but was willing to take the chance. Both systems are still up and running, 24/7, for all of those eleven years without a hiccup. I'm not sure if the RAID controller is doing load-leveling on its own, but I don't think it is.
I've used lots of SSD's since then as root partitions in servers, desktops, and laptops, without issue. I can't recall a single SSD failure, all with the EXT4 (with journal) filesystem.
I have seen one fail, but that wasn't in any of my systems. I have seen quite a few (dozen or so?) failed spinning disks.
Of course, YMMV
SSDs are not sticks. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
