A quick update:
In recent times, I was running my Pinebook Pro from micro SD card. The eMMC was not mounted or accessed in any other way. Nevertheless the lifetime estimate increased from 0x04 to 0x08!
Yesterday, I replaced the original 128GB eMMC with a new 256GB eMMC.
When I started posting in this thread we also noticed on my wife's eMMC a life-time estimate of 0x0b (100%-110). Two weeks ago, her eMMC completely died (re-seating or temporarily putting it in my Pinebook Pro has not helped). It can not be accessed anymore. I don't recall the precise kernel logs, something with lost interrupts. So yes, these eMMC can and do fail.
