Considerations for a long-running Raspberry Pi
This covers the readonly filesystem, but doesn't cover the write protect flag that you can set on the microSD card itself[1]. The flag will configure the card's controller to drop any writes.
Also, creating a readonly root out of an existing disto is a bit of a pain, my preference is to use a distro (like TinyCore) that's already a readonly root.

How to format SD Card that won't format or allow adding new data
If you have a memory card reader (not a USB based reader), you can inspect and unlock the SD card using SDtools - https://github.com/BertoldVdb/sdtool. Then try partitioning/reformatting the drive as you desire.

Write protected sd card problems
Bertold Sdtool can be used to change and query the write status, but as stated, it doesnt work for some reason

SD card "Write protected" after removing it from Raspberry Pi 4.
There's https://github.com/BertoldVdb/sdtool. Although unlikely, maybe you can unlock the card with it.

Considerations for a long-running Raspberry Pi
I've been running a bunch of Pi's for years now, and the biggest problem I've had is the Pi itself dying: 24/7 usage is hard on a small device. I've also found that stable power is essential, and to that end I've always used 5v 3a branded power cubes, plugged into a pure sine wave UPS. Choice of micro-SDHC cards is important and I ended up getting ATP industrial cards (https://www.atpinc.com/products/industrial-sd-cards) - expensive but really long-lived. Finally, using RPi-clone (https://github.com/billw2/rpi-clone) on a regular basis has been a life-saver. I clone to Sandisk Extreme micro-SDHCs and can recover from an outage in minutes.

Boot Pi4 from an SSD, not the MicroSD card
I would normally use the Pi SD-Card copier to duplicate the SD-Card to an SSD but I'm unsure if this is available on the Ubuntu image - you could possibly use this program [Github] if you are not keen on using dd with a running system.

Help needed on setting up Pi to boot from SSD
Then you will need to clone the SD to the SSD, you can use many tools that are available from your desktop computer or you can try with rpi-clone, just connect the SSD with Pi booted from SD, stop any possible service/docker to prevent any copy error and run, adapting device naming but usually will be (check device with dmesg):
