might this permit better sdcard longevity ?

Once the OS has booted, /boot would have reads from any cron jobs that happen to touch /boot - the only one that comes to mind is slocate; but there's not exactly much in /boot so it's hardly going to be hammered with reads.
umounting it makes updating the packages more involved since you have to remount it prior to performing an upgrade.
If you're happy with that I can't think of any reason why not to umount it, although I wouldn't for the reason I stated above.
