Not with any proper erasure coded distributed filesystem, you just trash and replace the entire drive and let ceph or whatever distributed storage solution you use rebalance the shards from other nodes. You don't need the filesystem to be reliable on a device level, you just need basic checksums for integrity checking and enough parity on the cluster level to replace bad drives.
