The alternator is the only thing that wouldn't be "protected". Everything else gets power from the "fused" side of things. You could put a Mega Fuse sized larger than your alternator's output if you wanted to be safe. A ground cable attached to the alternator body is a great idea as well.
Here's a shot of my fuse on the starter and how it's wired...

Ah okay, I understand now. So I see why that would prevent the alternator from blowing the fuse... would that also mean the ammeter would only show power being drawn from the battery, and not power going to the battery, since the alt would be feeding straight into the battery instead of going through the instrument panel circuit?
