SSD write life has definitely improved. For example, a 2TB Samsung 850 EVO has a warranty of five years or 150TBW (TeraBytesWrites), whichever comes first. To use up 150TB of writes in five years, one would have to write 2.5TB a month! Add to that, most SSDs will last longer than the length of their warranty. At 1TB per month, that drive could last 12.5 years.
However, loss of write life is not the only thing that could cause an SSD to fail. The NANDs themselves and the controller could also fail. I had one 4TB Samsung 850 EVO give me problems right out of the box (it kept dropping out on me; the vendor replaced it). The chances are, though, most SSDs will last past their warranty period.
