I always thought the right solution would be to just sync atime only very very lazily. This means if a inode is only dirty because of an atime update put it on a "only write out when there is nothing to do or the memory is really needed" list.
Seems like a good idea. atimes will then be written only by memory pressure - or umount. The atimes could be wrong after a crash, but loosing atimes only is not something I'd worry about.
