Is now safe to upgrade regarding external SSDs?

Hello everyone!

Is now safe to upgrade to Monterey?

I have 4 external SSDs hooked on my M1 Mac Mini (2 Sandisks + 2 HPs). The reports of SSDs been worn by OS kept me stuck at BigSur.

After all the updates, is now safe to upgrade?

12.2 forces external hard drives and disk arrays to be ejected when screen saver and hibernate are activated, possibly doing more damage than persistent writes.

I never use it. My Mac is set to never sleep. My concern is regarding the issues with that persistent writes. Is it solved?
