Reading will not modify it, but commenting will. And one other
consideration: whenever a reminder appears and is then is dismissed or
snoozed, the task or event is modified in the database. In the case of a
recurring task, fortunately, once you mark it as completed, a separate
non-recurring instance for that date is "sloughed off" and the recurring
event event assumes the next scheduled date - it is not marked as completed.
So a task that is "still" recurring is never completed, only the individual
completed instances are. And those will never get another reminder. So it's
only the commenting of completed tasks that you'd need to worry yourself
about. You could probably get away with only adding a date for those few
completed tasks which you do posthumously comment, and just take the last
modification date as completed date if there's no date in the notes. If you
label any such date with a "Completed: " label, you'll only need to search
for a line beginning that way.
