Never mind . . .I just discovered that it wasn't actually the modified date that's changing but the last opened date (which is what shows up in a Finder Find window rather than last modified date).
I had noticed this date changing recently when I was searching for files in support of my tax preparation and was irritated that the date was changing (thinking it was the modified date). In any event . . .my real question was more about whether the last accessed date writes that noatime prevents were worth turning off for an SSD or whether the whole SSD wear issue was overblown . . .as I indicated before there appear to be perfectly valid arguments on both sides and I'm not expert enough in the details to determine which argument is wrong.
