Anecdotally, I have a similar experience in my NAS/Server.
Unlikely Backblaze, I don't write much to my drives, they mostly get some writes of relatively small backups once or twice a day and that's it. I keep all of my VM boot drives on NVMe SSDs.
I've only had one, very early SSD (SATA, OCZ branded) fail on me since the beginning, and I run significantly more SSDs than I do HDDs, in my desktop, laptops, servers etc.
In the NAS/Server (It's a high-spec Proxmox server doubling as a NAS) I have had a bunch of HDD failures, WDReds (CMR) and Seagate IronWolf drives, typically around 4-5 year mark.
For use cases like mine, where they spend most of their time idling, I think SSDs are a clear winner, HDDs are wearing out just by idling.
My next failure I'll be replacing the mirror that fails with SSDs.
