The flash chips have are guaranteed to work for at least 1000 rewrites - that's for the older ones, it's even more for newer chips.

Flashing over 10 times during the mobo's expected lifetime isn't quite frequent.

Except for the DMI and ESCD data which are rewritten after most configuration changes.
