Even at current flash speeds the improvement will be substantial.

This would surprise me. It is more than a year ago I looked at such configuration concepts, so maybe the spec-data are outdated. However, back then it did not come even close to a good disk.

Also, Intel had wear leveling in their very first flash file system from over ten years ago. I don't see this as a huge issue.

I agree. But it adds overhead. And it does probably not solve the lifetime-issue: The (admittedly a little old) data are in the 100K rewrites. Not an awful lot for such use.
