Project mention: Follow-up on the earlier "Why Proxmox VE shreds your SSDs" – with details | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-12-20
But stuff like /var/lib/pve-firewall and /var/lib/rrdcached was still written to every second.
I played around with mount options like commit=n
It kind of helped to use log2ram:

but it sure didn't eliminate the problem.
I think with a little effort from the proxmox guys, They could gather a lot of low-hanging fruit.
