I work with people that run io tools against flash parts. I still have

silly.
Generalization is always false.
I killed a 1GB SanDisk CF Card because of excessive logging of OpenVPN
Connections from WLAN Clients which unfortunately had power saving
enabled and dropped the connection every few minutes. Took me around 2
or 3 weeks, I just forgot to reduce the log level. Perhaps those stress
tests are not stressing enough? That Card was a little bit older, but
seldom used, so there is a good chance that that scenario no longer
applies.
and I bet it didn't die because of the excessive writes but something
else. And until you show me proof that all reserve cells were mapped
in and in use I cannot be convinced of the opposite.
Tell me how I can show this. I got the card in a drawer around.
Kind regards,
Markus
