it seems like the right approach would be to have a switch that disconnects the wires while the GPU is being connected to ensure everything is connected physically before anything is connected electricly.

It's two 74 pin connectors that's way too many to physically switch. Also signal integrity through that many switches sounds like an absolute nightmare.
