It might be a good idea for developers to do a "WITH shader nodes" and "WITHOUT shader nodes" material collection for the material room.  A doctor-like "Hippocratic oath like" attitude of doing no harm is always better.  Having a "lights on/lights off" collection would be easy to do and easiest for all concerned with the least amount of problems,IMO.
