I'd at least solder another diode across the terminals if I did that. An LED is a diode at the end of the day and breaking the circuit might break the device.

Not if it is just a power LED. No circuit that I'm aware of would break if the power LED wasn't drawing power. You'd have to go out of your way to make it that way.

Thank you for the clarification. I've not soldered anything for a couple of decades so my knowledge is poor.

I did think that your approach is very thorough, 'change nothing' is a good principle.
