I’m not sure why you wouldn’t just use a USB Stick drive at that point though. Like SSD hard drive, they are better suited to constant R/Ws better than an SD card.
Running on a z8300 windows box. I never have to reboot unless windows decides to update. I also have an emby server, 2 Minecraft servers, one creative and one survival, unifi wifi controller. Mosquitto server. I run about 5% load if not streaming something on Emby
in a day like 10 or more times to check if it worked, i keep adding something or the other.
Running on a RPi3, hassio and lot of automatons + custom stuff.
I only restart when I make config changes,
I have never had HA fail or stop responding that I can recall, it is rock solid.

this is nice. I’ve set it to sat 6AM, ill be around to check if something doesn’t come up.
On my original RPi1 (before they boosted the memory) it was crashing about 10 times a week.
Since migrating to RPi3 (ordered a week before they upgraded it 
) the only, non config, time I’ve needed to restart is after a power failure when some device isn’t being picked up by Home Assistant (usually UniFi or Fire TV Server) as they took longer to start up than Home Assistant. (That’s a bit of an annoyance where some components (cast) will happily launch when the hardware is missing and add it in as it becomes available, and others won’t).
Approx 20 physical devices, with various other bits and pieces on top (HTTP and REST Sensors especially).
The Bluetooth Tracker used to fall over regularly, but I narrowed this down to Blue Hydra running on the same machine. Disabled that and it’s been solid since.
