It drive failure rates or High IO apps are truly a concern then the solution is simple.
get a decent raid controller. most newer ones will use the ssd as a cached storage device, caching the most frequently accessed bits from your spinning raid array. so you get the quick boots/app loads from the ssd and a huge data set with the "safety" of a r5 stripe behind it. if the ssd bricks you just lose the caching portion and your machine is still running.
