Actually, the limitation is about 100,000 writes per cell. (A cell is roughly equivalent to a cluster on a standard hard drive.) The onboard controller circuitry attempts to transparently move data from failing cells to good ones and mark the failed cells as unusable, so what you'll see, if you see anything, is graceful degradation in the form of decreased storage space.
Since data is read from things like Flash and SSD drives far more often than it is written to them, the odds are that you will upgrade to a larger, faster drive long before you actually notice any wear and tear.
I wouldn't be overly concerned.
