PS
not sure if you are going to do more complicated things,
but normally raspi's filesystems are mounted with the noatime option,
to prevent writes to the card for any reads.
root@raspberrypi:~# mount
/dev/root on / type ext4 (rw,noatime,data=ordered)

So if you are planning to make new partitions,
then mount those with the noatime option, see for example:

https://www.howtoforge.com/reducing-disk-io-by-mounting-partitions-with-noatime
and
man mount

There is a bit more to it, but I forgot the details.
