I think SouthArk may be concerned that the shutdown process you describe actually IS a 'process' where the ECU powers down systems gracefully.

That said, I do not believe that cutting power will cause mechanical damage unless you are on the ragged edge of reliability, ie the split second after the fuel stops you get massive detonation from lean out. Not likely on a NA or even FI application since the throttles should snap shut at the same time.
