Not likely.

The snapshot doesn't write much, and both SSDs and ZFS are copy on write. Which means the cost of writing after a snapshot is the same as before the snapshot.

On the other hand context is missing. Both SSDs and ZFS don't like being full or even close to full. The working set was ~650GB, of the drive was 1TB, then those snapshots could have easily made the drive over 90% full. This could have made ZFS unhappy all by itself.
