This is an invalid concern or at least an inadequately worded one.  All
modern SSD's use static wear leveling.  This plus leaving approximately 10%
of the drive unpartitioned/unused will ensure you'll get as close to the
theoricial limit that one can reasonable achieve.

Swap-on-ZFS is bad for all the reasons swap-on-UFS is and more.
