I run like that during more than 5000km before with my first R.I.P 2.1td (standard conrods broken).
And the belt is still alive.
Do you have picture of the 406 hdi alternator?
The risk is to the belt, alternator and the dampener - it will be made much worse with the lighter pulley. You can usually tell the clutched, freewheeling alternators as they have a cap over the pulley like so:
It will also help the engine's response as the the alternator can spin down freely, so the engine revs fall faster, meaning faster gear changes etc.
