I'd say that running anything with a read-write load on eMMC will end in pieces. It's ok to occasionally write something, but a mixed load is not really what these things were designed for. The wear leveling can be quite basic, you never know when it's gonna happen (i.e. sudden power down can kill your filesystem - that's why disabling journaling is not a very great idea), and if your device is "mostly full" anyways, the wear leveling has not much space to redirect the writes to. Remember that some of those chips are sold mostly by price - that is, the hobbyist "embedded" devices get the cheapest chips. A safer bet would be adding an external storage; some 64GB SATA SSDs are available for less than 50€ (perhaps it's better not to go for the cheapest ones here, too).
