I bet you are right. And an eAssist would be easier, if we go back to thinking just about practical EM bolt-on ideas. I have two vacant spots on my crank pulley from the delete of AC and PS. I could leave the stock alternator in place and add a small electric motor. The belts are prolly smaller than ideal but hopefully still useful with a properly small motor. That motor could maybe propel me around parking lots or extend glides. But that's not really the topic of this daydream concept general efficiency discussion.
