The only way this is possible currently is to use the syslogng package. There you can set a location to use for log storage which can be a different drive or partition. If you then set /var as a ram drive system logging does not write to the drive.

BUT.... there is no built in management of different drives in pfSense so you need to use custom scripts to do that. Hence it's not supportable.

@stephenw10 I have the cron job for it set to scrub once a month.

Just remember (ask me how I know!) that unlike a VM snapshot once you default or otherwise break a BE you cannot roll it back. You can only switch to a different BE.
So if you want to have that point remain available be sure to create a new BE snap each time before you run tests etc.

Got access to the boot environments now.

I can't get some packages to with with ARM for 23.09 I keep getting completely locked out and having to go back. That fixed it.

I would probably try low-level formatting it using the Intel SSD tool if you have Windows available.

The upgrade process doesn't care or do anything special depending on the filesystem.

Honestly it would be faster and safer to just grab a backup and run the installer again to setup the mirror like you want. You'd be done in <10m with no worries about if you did something wrong.
