Personally, I wouldn't worry about using the main drive. I've never seen the life of a drive affected by utilization as far as I could tell, there have been drives fail on my busiest volumes and on my least, with no real correlation between utilization and failure rates.
I'd use and abuse the main drive without mercy, make sure there's a time machine backup of the main, and off-load unused files to an external drive.
