Each time I had to put the car away for Winter( NOV to MAY ) , i disconnected the negative post before connecting the Optimate 6 Charger to it ,simply because some charger detect when the car electronic is still connected to the Battery and will not perform battery recondition with the same efficacity .
Two days ago ,I have installed a brand new Odyssey Performance Battery . . .

I have also installed this Battery Cut off between the bolt of the right fender and the Negative wire . . .

Now , all their is to do to disconnect the negative is turning that small Green Handle . ( I can add more details of the installation if needed )

I agree with your entire post -but not the quick disconnect. I see that as a BIG RISK.
A battery cable opening up while you are driving means there is no filter (the battery) to clean up the ripple from the alternator.
Running a car without the battery connected is asking for multiple module failures.
What I am getting at - any connection that is just 'finger tight' is not to be trusted as your battery connection.
