sudo rsync -avx / /ssd
After a long list of copied files, I get the following error:
rsync: write failed on "/ssd/lib/modules/4.19.115+/kernel/drivers/iio/pressure/bmp280-i2c.ko": Read-only file system (30)
rsync error: error in file IO (code 11) at receiver .c(374) [receiver=3.1.3]
Is his expected? Did I do something wrong? How should I fix?
EDIT: I must have done *something* wrong... I continued with the instructions and the thing will no longer boot... with or without the SSD.

Additionally, you can always keep an updated microSD card around in case of disk failure - but SSDs are pretty robust.
It's as simple as just blowing the Stellarmate image onto the SSD and then plugging it into the USB3 port on your Pi (I'm using a Pi4 for this). If your bootloader is post Sept 2020 and you have no microsd card in it'll boot directly off the SSD.
