Comment (by neteler):

 As a workaround you could simply replace the location/mapset/.tmp/
 with a link to a directory on SSD.

 However, from the planning document:

 https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/wiki/Grass8Planning#Rasterlibrary

  * "implement GRASS_RASTER_TMPDIR_MAPSET like it exists for vector data
 (GRASS_VECTOR_TMPDIR_MAPSET), i.e. change all .tmp/ to variable in source
 code in init/grass.py, gis/open.c, gis/file_name.c, raster library"

 Maybe to be worked out in more detail but for sure very important (we
 frequently face the same issue).
