But does it still try to update literally every time you use it?

That has changed recently: https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/issues/10386
If you set HOMEBREW_NO_AUTO_UPDATE to 1, it won't update when you run the install, upgrade, and tap commands like it normally does
Also don't forget HOMEBREW_NO_ANALYTICS=1 in your environment to keep it from silently phoning home a machine-specific unique identifier and your client IP (city-level geolocation) to Google every time you run it.
