Looking for workflows for gathering family photos and backing up
I wouldn't keep the originals and the Photo library on the same disk just in case something happened to that disk. Also, it's important to know that if you store a Photos library on an external disk you can't move that Photo library to another Mac due to the way Apple now stores photos (to be "more secure"). I have developed a hack to get around this but I don't recommend using except as a last resort.

Photos changing picture dates?
I think the most likely thing that has happened in your case is that the data in the Photos.sqlite database file has been corrupted somehow--likely some kind of bug in Photos.app. So when Photos reports the date on a photo, it's retrieving that date from the database, not from the actual image file on disk. Thus, it's possible the date/time of the photos themselves is still preserved in the EXIF data of the original images. The Photos Time Warp tool has an option to read the date/time from the EXIF data and reset it in the Photos database to match. This tool requires a level of comfort with the command line so I wouldn't use it if you're not comfortable running commands in the Terminal but it is one option (the only one I know of) that might be able to restore the correct date/time for your affected photos by reading the data from the EXIF data of the original images.
What are some alternatives?
osxphotos - Python app to work with pictures and associated metadata from Apple Photos on macOS. Also includes a package to provide programmatic access to the Photos library, pictures, and metadata.
photokit - Python package for accessing the macOS Photos.app library via Apple's native PhotoKit framework
shot - A CLI Screenshot Helper for OSX Terminal
add_photo_locations_from_google_history - Python script to add missing location data to photos in your Apple Photos library based on your Google location history. This script can be run stand-alone to add location data to the photos in your library or as a post-processing function for osxphotos to add location data to photos upon export.
exiftool - ExifTool meta information reader/writer
elodie - An EXIF-based photo assistant, organizer and workflow automation tool.
