I understand that turnips spoil on Sunday, and that they will spoil if I TT. However, if I were to change the 3DS clock (specifically to keep it on the same date), would my turnips spoil?

Ok. That's all I needed to know. Thank you!
You can go backwards in time and not lose your turnips so long as you don't go back over a past save.
I only change time with the 3ds clock, keeps it simple for me, but I realise it doesn't suit a lot of players.
It means my experience is confined to changing time with the system clock.
Say you buy turnips Sunday am. quit and save at 1pm.
You then want to play Sunday afternoon ingame but its 8pm in real time/ingame time.
Go into system settings change time (not date or year) to say for example 2pm & load the game. You are playing forward from your last play & save.
That works fine if your system clock and ingame clock show the same time - ie they are in sync.
And I keep mine in sync for simplicity sake.
When you load the game, the game takes the time from the system - If the times are not in sync any offset will remain.
This is where I get confused, I'm OK if my two times are in sync, & I change time with the system clock to make sure they always are.
Not sure this helps you at all. I've not experimented with time by having the two times (system & ingame out of sync to see how easy it is to play). I presume you would need to remember the offset between the two, and take it into account.
The offset remains until you manually change the clocks to be the same using a 3rd outside real life clock that shows seconds.
A lot of players do not have the two times in sync - you don't have to, but I don't know how it works in practice.
