I honestly don't think any normal end user can answer this unless they had very specific tools to test for that. I think the answer you seek will need to come from some engineer who's studied this.
All I can say as an end user is I've not seen any noticeable degradation of my drives in daily usage (I've got SSD drives in my systems going back to 2013). On the flipside I don't put them under stress tests in seeing how they still perform. I just use mine in a normal manner of any drive - read, write, move files around when needed.
The other thing I don't do is allow any of my drives to go beyond 70% (usually 60%) full. It's been said once an SSD goes past 70, it starts to slow down and become less efficient.
