On an RPi-4 (and I think the 3B+ also), an SD card is not required at 
all.  I have a 4 that boots and runs from a 500GB SSD housed in an 
(externally powered) enclosure connected to the Pi with USB3.  It runs 
24x7 doing various things for me (not running the BBS), such as my DDNS 
updater, automated system-status emails, and distributed computing (the 
BOINC projects).  Works very well and is fast.  Again, it does not even 
have an SD card installed in it, and boots/operates from the SSD.
