I had to turn off Powernap to convince the thing to sleep. But whatever non sense it was doing (apparently stuck in Photos and Push Notifications), it has thankfully not burned the SSD!
Addendum. I just wrote 1.7GB in the last 30mins while reading HN on Firefox, and a few other web pages. Based on that, I would say the 2GB–4GB write a day from OP are fine.
