It’s true that you need to be able to handle hard disconnects, but sometimes a graceful shutdown will give a better experience than a hard one is capable of. E.g. “close all connections, flush, then shutdown” might avoid an expensive “restore from journal” when you next start up.
Yes, a few simple shutdown notifications without waiting for feedback is a reasonable thing to do. No waiting for replies, no grace periods. Maybe wait a second or two before cutting the power, if you are in charge of powering the clients and a shutdown means power off.
