Yes you were wrong to make the statement, "I think the RPi is not
considered the best choice for a serious / long term system is that it
runs on an SD and that's not good for long term writes".

You didn't think and anyone with knowledge about the Pi would have known
this was a lie.

Agreed that you don't have to write a log file to a Pi's SD card. But if you
write it to a networked drive, *that* drive needs also not to be SD,
otherwise you are no better off. And writing to a physically-connected disk
(whether SD card or USB-connected spinning or solid-state disc) is probably
more reliable than writing to a network drive, where writes (and reads) will
fail if the network server (probably using SMB) fails or the network
infrastructure fails.

How does the Pi (or indeed any computer that has a solid-state disk) manage
to read/write/overwrite a swap file, where the contents will be changing
very frequently as different memory pages are swapped between RAM and disc,
without rapidly degrading the disc? Am I correct that it is the number of
writes (as opposed to reads) that causes the gradual damage to an SSD?
