I ended up creating a TableTimestamps table and added triggers to the tables I care about to update each table's last modified time in TableTimestamps. Looks to be working great. This database is mostly read, with few writes, so it ought to be good performance wise too.

Why not just use a timestamp field on each table? I don't think it violates any normalization rules, and you don't have to use a trigger:
