A little off topic but does TrueNAS Scale require an Enterprise SSD for the OS drive? IIRC TrueNAS Scale runs Kubernetes under the hood. I'm curious if a regular consumer SSD would be quickly destroyed by the frequent random writes needed for K8s/etcd?

I'm running k3s & have no idea what you are talking about about. There is an incredibly modest write load. Etcd primarily captures the Desired State of the system, and that doesn't change except if you are there telling it to change. Containers logging is a much bigger write load for me, but basically irrelevant.
