Is this seriously an issue? I've shot hundreds of thousands of photos on my 10D, 1D, and 1D.2, chimping heavily and deleting much. Still do and always will chimp and delete on the fly. Since buying my first DSLR somewhere around 6 or 8 years ago I have had exactly 1 compact flash card go bad on me.
I don't "Erase All", though. I reformat the card EVERY time I pick up the camera for an assignment. That could play a role... I just find it hard to believe that Canon/Nikon can make a camera that can autofocus and set an exposure & white balance in milliseconds but they have a hard time with their file system; the FAT file system that is certainly well documented by Microsoft. It can't be that hard to get working properly.

I have deleted some images from my Canon DSLRs and "professional" Lexar flash cards, and these days they do seem to be able to handle it without trashing the filesystem. ...
