FWIW, it's doubtful that you'd even notice this. You'd almost certainly
be updating the mtime or ctime on the next change anyway, so updating
the i_version in that case is basically free. You will probably need to
do some a few extra atomic in-memory operations, but that's probably not
noticeable in something I/O constrained.

I'm writing to a LVM volume on a no-name-brand ssd I have sitting
around. fio jobfile is here:
