I did a lot with RPi's back in the 2-3 era... My SDCards were constantly getting nuked by slightly noisy power sources when running timelapse photography over the course of days. My workaround was to use the SDCard for boot only, but running everything else off a USB drive. The sdcard then only ran for a couple minutes at startup, in read-only mode, and never had a chance to screw up a write.
This worked great, and allowed me to successfully run a four-month timelapse, where I didn't have access to the device. (You can see it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cyh0QJT0rAQ )
