I agree with the idea of emulating "conventional" operation.

My originally posted architecture might be nearly there, if I move non-engine stuff
to the main bus.

Smoke in cockpit, e-bus alt feed on, master off. Engine will run for 2+ hours in
that condition, and I can alternate between primary and backup EFISs for a nominal
2.5 hours of flight instrument time. Pitot heat reduces engine run time
to a little over an hour.

I don't have a lot of experience in hard IMC as I'm not instrument rated, but it
seems to me the scenario where I have a dual alternator failure and the pitot
is icing up I'd be in an emergency and on my way to a landing. Still noodling
if 1 hour is good enough for me here.

Only thing is I would be isolated from the outside world then, so maybe leave the
430 on the e-bus as well so I have a means to communicate but can still switch
it off.

Boy I'd sure love to just move a smaller aux alt to the e-bus...
