While I understand that it's "rated" for 234 TBW, it's still a $60 card with consumer-grade MLC/TLC that uses "tricks" to make it more reliable (i.e. overprovisioning, wear leveling). I'm speculating that Max Endurance is the same memory as your typical $20 Sandisk card, but "binned" for higher performance. It's why there's a massive price difference between enterprise/industrial grade memory (i.e. SLC) vs consumer grade (i.e. MLC/TLC). End of day, I just don't think MLC/TLC memory is reliable enough for left/right/front/rear/interior dashcam writes. I'm speculating it's probably designed for a front dashcam writes, not simultaneous left/right/front/rear/interior/24-7-sentry dashcam writes.
Tesla OEM isn't immune from using the incorrect memory type. It's not an unusual problem to encounter in solid state storage.

On the reader being too hot, I think that's a fair hypothesis. I didn't give it much thought as I still think Max Endurance card isn't good enough. But since it's $15, I bought the UGREEN adapter and try it out. It'll hold me over until Tesla releases it's SSD; I plan to order it and hopefully not have to deal with this problem again, lol.
You realize 4 compressed 720p cams are writing less data than the single/dual 4k cam setups most people comfortably use these "cheap" endurance flash solutions for for years right?
Adapter issues seems far more likely than you are somehow killing endurance storage by...using it as storage (and relatively light duty at that given how little is actually being written in the time you mention versus the rated endurance)
