"It causes no harm, in & of itself. (Power savings & battery life are outside the premise of the question)" Do you mean that long term health of battery isn't harmed?

I mean that battery health wasn't in the question. Everybody else seems to have latched onto that as some kind of be all & end all. It wasn't in the question. Batteries last until they die, no matter what you do. The computer itself doesn't need to be shut down.

If we take battery health into account, is no-shutdown a viable option?

Shutdown itself has absolutely no relevance to battery life. Hibernate uses the same amount of power, ie none. People seem to have got all hung up on batteries, as I mentioned in my answer. It literally has no connection to the question asked.
