> Scan the backs
I guess this is assuming some scanning rig (camera scanning?) where it only takes a few seconds per photo. With a flatbed scanner, scanning the backs is almost certainly going to take longer than just typing dates in manually.

(For flatbed scanning, I actually made a Mac app to help scan fronts with backs, lol. https://timelinescan.com/frontback-scanner [it's not as refined yet])
Getting handwriting from the back along with a potential date make scanning the backs worth it, for me, on a flatbed.
