Do not think this would be a good choice:
These have about 0.2 Drive Writes Per Day.
At my previous employer we used one 300GB Intel S3500 (0.3 DWPD) as a journal per 5 X 1TB 7200RPM disk.
The cluster was not heavily used and burned through that SSD in a year.
As you mentioned getting bigger SSDs will help a bit since you have more NAND chips to spread the load around.
It is still more cost efficient to go for a smaller S3700 series though.
E.g. The Intel 750, 1.2TB costs more then a 400GB S3700 and has a lot less endurance (about 200GB per day vs 4TB per day)
