You'll have some garbage data, sure, but it won't fuck up your drive - that's the difference. A hard disk can fail in so many different ways in comparison, and that's what the warning is actually for - "unrecoverable" problems with the drive. With a SSD, the worst that happens is you lose your last write. It's not going to have allocation issues, and isn't at risk of any physical damage.
Oh yes absolutely, spinny disks can be more temperamental if they lose power, although it's not super duper common especially nowadays; I've been lucky, I think I've never had any of mine get borked like that over the past >30y.
But yeah in comparison incomplete writes on SSD are pretty mild as far as potential problems go, at least on sane file systems
