Well, SSDs don't actually spin. And the AV is just reading data, not writing it. Consumer-grade SSDs failing due to excessive write cycles was a concern in the past, but constantly disabling it won't significantly affect its lifespan. If you're concerned, you might consider a physical switch, like this one: https://www.amazon.com/Switch-Module-Ind...Protection. But, it's not a major issue.
Yes. But they begin spinning erratically when the antivirus activates, opening explorer and so on.

Also most wearing occurs when it begins to spin, as far as I understand. But thanks for the information.
