It's not immediately obvious to me how this deals with reads that
cause writes, e.g. read operations that cause an inode update time to
be written, etc.

Am I missing something?

Or do those just not matter?  (for all existing cases -- i can imagine
cases in which they might, e.g. a read trips a threshold to "oft-used
data" that causes FS to switch to a different, say, non-compressed
representation of a file, etc...)
