There is no mechanism to prevent template0 from getting vacuumed. template0 will get vacuumed once every autovacuum_freeze_max_age even if no one has ever connected to it, and that vacuum will cause block reads and writes to happen. (But I'm not sure why it would contribute xact_rollback or tup_updated, and the tup_returned seems awfully high to be due to only anti-wrap-around vacs.)
