I'm a big fan of simplicity when it comes to emergency situations and the procedures that go along with it. With that concept in mind, could the switches for the E-bus alternate feed and the Aux Alt OFF/ON switches be combined into one two-pole switch? It seems it might make a quicker transition from normal configuration with the main alternator failed to operating with the standby alternator powering battery bus and E-bus.

The combined functions into one switch offers a single
point of failure for more than one system. The
goal of the architecture published is to avoid
having a failure become an emergency. When the low
voltage light comes on, if it took you a minute
to change the system configuration for battery-only
running . . . the outcome of your flight would no
be altered.
Another way of saying it is to suggest that low
voltage in a failure tolerant design is never
an emergency that begs for speedy and perhaps
ill-considered or poorly executed actions.
