Id say they are most likely in good health. But anything could happen. Always reccomend having a backup option in place.

Agreed, i mainly mention Crystaldisk because its a quick free tool. Definitely reccomend using multiple avenues of info gathering to determine hardware health.
You can track the health status of most smart enabled ssds. Can use a tool like crystal disk info
Personally i have 2 7 year old ssds going strong without issue. Mainly used for storage and games, so the r/w rates been pretty lower on them.
Ssds do have a total maximum write cycles to nand. Really depends on the use cases over the 5 years.
Yea its doable. Really depends on the games anti-cheat. You’d want to check each game.
Battle Eye based anti cheat games like R6S and Tarkov gave me issues last time i tried a similar setup. That was a few years back however, and with valves proton push, much of the compatibility has improved since then.
