I'm booting an RPi4 off a 16 SSD held in an aliexpress USB-SSD holder

It seems faster than with the SD card, although I have not measured. As 
Paul says, should be more reliable. I could probably do a daily backup to a 
mounted SD card.

The SSD adapter is a bit too wide, and blocks the ethernet port. A short 
discussion

on how to improve that. This project is currently underway.
