Beginners • Should a RPi be powered off completely before disconnecting boot device?

I've been using the Raspberry Pi for years—but having thought about it—have never heard or read anyone address this basic topic directly.

The following question applies to a Pi 4B with USB boot running the latest version of Bookworm.

After shutting down the Pi via the menu, the green LED flashes 10 times, signaling that the device is safe to power off. At this stage, is it safe to disconnect the boot device (USB drive containing the OS and kernel) without powering off the Pi completely at the wall?
