You either do already (or you had better configure it so that you do
in the future) get warnings from your RAID controller(s) when the
remaining durability on an SSD falls below a threshold.


we do not use raid controllers.  they hide the hardware, as you note.
linux raid (md) and zfs (usually raidz2) kinda folk here.  and then
smartmontools, short test daily, long test weekly.
