So, to me, at this point, it still sounds more than a gimmick

for it and motivation, than of course please go ahead.
The only use-cases I [1] can think of are either with an email system
that needs it or with something like a webserver where there's
a team of devops working on the web service who need elevated access
and a couple of sysadmins who need root for their general job, and audit
or similar is used to log these accesses.
But maybe there are more use-cases for atime?
but as has been mentioned, most modern mail systems don't need it
and I'm not sure how much something like audit would. Do things
like tripwire/mtree need it? It's an interesting question.
[1] in my limited experience. i've only seen email "needing" it
and that's only in some contexts
