Hi Tim,
Thanks for the answer, I will ask the question in the support sub forum.
I have a bit of experience with the RPi and SD cards (and SSDs as well), and I don‘t share your optimism. Both have not been designed with power loss during a write operation, and it can happen that the SD card controller fries the whole storage or parts of it in seldom cases.
But the reliability very much depends on the number of writes the system during normal operation (and which could be interrupted by a sudden power loss). If this is minimized e.g., by use of the Overlay FS with changes held in RAM until explicitly written then I would be happy.
