No question that something like that is a help but I tend to put it in
the same category as make-before-break switching. It's supposed to
work, but it might not.

Having lost a few alternators over the years for various reasons, I've
gotten very conservative, and I've learned to live with not switching
under load as a good first step in prevention.
