It depends on how the scrubbing works.  I would have expected it to

I mean.... full-disk backup utilities do it all the time.

There are a few different types of full-disk backup, but if it's file-based and the atimes are modified, that's the intent of the backup process. The atimes are used to determine which files to backup. A scrub is not a backup and shouldn't modify the atimes.
