I'd like to thank everybody for their replies. Good to know that I don't have to keep buying memory cards to get the best out of my cameras.

Memory Card reliability depends on the kind and quality of the NAND and controller.

Many brands like SanDisk prefer to use cheapest consumer-grade cells (QLC) with the lowest reliability.
Best option are memory cards with MLC-NAND. Industrial grade memory even uses SLC.
