It is the best thing since rsync! Really - it is amazing!

And about portage: you write in your portage tree not nearly as often as in /home. SSDs don't die as quickly as you think. The most important thing about wear leveling is to keep 10% free disk space in all
partitions and enable discard. You'll be fine then.
