I leave my e-buss switch on most all the time. It doesn't hurt anything
and, if the alternator fails and I turn off the contactor switch, I
can't inadvertently re-boot the avionics by operating the switches in
the wrong order. I read my voltage off the e-buss and with the switch
off, I need to do math to know what the alternator is doing so it is
convenient to leave it on for that reason. I do check the diode feed
path often by turning it off and seeing the voltage drop.

Okay, I understand about the necessity for the switch otherwise you could never shut off power to the e-bus.
But I am still confused about if there would be a problem if it were inadvertently switched on during normal operations. You mentioned that it would flow from the contactor instead of the diode, do you mean the battery bus side of the contactor?
I guess what I am really concerned with is would their be any problem if it were switched on during flight inadvertently? I am thinking no, but just want confirmation of that...
