The higher the data density on a chip, the smaller the 'memory cells' and the higher the risk of damage. | |

One thing I don't know is the powered-off lifespan comparison between SD cards and Arduinos. Might the Arduinos die first? | |

Arduinos are a lot more resilient to fluctuating power than computers. One can bring a bunch of pre-programmed boards, and spares for displays and printers (maybe lots of paper too). | |

Were I doing it I would probably design something bespoke rather then going SD with a small solar panel and pile of flash chips embedded in epoxy with an led and touch switch, then teach everyone who needs to drive the thing morse code. No IO, no mechanical interfaces, put it in the sunlight and tap out queries. Dress the thing up right (and make the interface default to Latin) and you can probably get the local religious order to manage it for you. | |
