I'd love to experiment with that and/or flags like `noatime`, especially when CI nodes are single-use and ephemeral.

noatime is irrelevant because everyone has been using relatime for ages, and updating the atime field with relatime means you're writing that block to disk anyway, since you're updating the mtime field. So no I/O saved.

atime is so exotic you shouldn't need to consider disabling it experimental. I consider it legacy at this point.
