It's probably already shutting off the fuel flow so you don't need to turn off the ignition. Test to see: Engine brake with ignition on, then turn ignition off and see if there's a change in the amount of braking. If there's no change, leave it on and let the automatic DFCO (deceleration fuel cut off) do its job.
