But I read somewhere, that SSD actually operate better at higher temperatures. Or at least do not suffer as much as HDDs. Well, up to a degree a guess. In any case, in SMART data my SATA SSDs show higher temperature limits than my HDDs.

It would be super useful if someone from the knowledgable STH audience can comment on that.

But it costs closer to $10 than $20.

If the HDD/SSD gets hot enough to cause injury beyond a few moments of pain, then I would argue that is probably not that healthy for the drives either.
