Fortunately most people aren't running OLTP workloads on client SSDs. That's mostly done on enterprise SSDs that have much higher endurance. That said even on client SSDs you can probably get away with running such workloads as long as you're not doing them 24/7.

More important than the higher rated endurance (and perhaps contributing a bit to that rating) is the fact that the typical enterprise SSD has power loss protection capacitors for its RAM, so it can cache and combine writes in RAM safely.
