If you have a custom processing profile assigned to a folder, the reprocess popup shows the option to just reprocess based on that PP

The docs weren't updated after we added the writeback feature, but it is supported in Cloud Service. If you don't care to writeback metadata, my recommendation would be to actually create custom properties for your use case to prevent the overwriting. For example, if asset1.jpg already has a dc:title XMP property in the binary, AEM will extract it, then you overwrite it in AEM to "my custom title", but don't writeback to the xmp, next time a metadata extraction happens, dc:title will be overwritten. You should add a custom property to the schema "myTitle" and update that property. 

Writeback in Cloud Service is handled by Asset Compute Service, so the scalability/performance issues are not there, but it is asynchronous and we have a limit of how big the metadata content body can be.
