It's your gear so it's your call, but I'm pretty confident that with modern SSDs the code they use to control writes is good about spreading it out over the whole of the drive. And even if the life of the drive went from 10 years down to 5 years, is that worth sacrificing performance for? I mean, it's the whole reason you buy an SSD in the first place: performance.
