The answer depends on your real goals. Mounting the spool on an
SSD is only your real goal if you're are a compulsive tinkerer.
Otherwise, you're trying to solve some problem that's motivating
this question, so state that instead.

This is a bad idea. The /var/spool/postfix directory is just for
the Postfix queue (messages in transit). Do not deliver mail there.
Ideally deliver mail into a separate file-system that does not
compete for space with the Postfix queue.

Not without a reason to consider SSD. Do however avoid using
/var/spool/postfix for user maildirs, that's a mistake.
