  Reading causes insignificant wear ("read disturb") that likely isn't a problem, but I don't think it's possible to issue pure reads to modern SSDs. The NVMe spec mandates tracking the amount of data read, and this has to be written to the drive. I'd hope the firmware buffers this and writes it at low frequency, but on the other hand, I doubt the firmware was tested in extreme random-read regimes. Unexpected failures from excessive statistics recording could be possible.
