Dynamic SLC caching is already done on many SSDs. Intel has done it for ages: https://blocksandfiles.com/2019/11/25/intel-dynamic-cache-66...

All this really means is that you use 100% off the SSD in 'SLC' mode, giving you 1/3 the usual space (since most SSDs are TLC these days). As you grow past 1/3 drive full, the drive reverts to TLC mode more and more and the drive slows down. Nothing innovative, as far as I can tell.
