As an old-time Unix file system developer, I would advis you to always safely eject. Pulling power off a device while it is being written to is almost always painful if not fatal.

my Mac tells me to do it, I submissively obey.
this device is too expensive for me to afford anything happening to it.

Good to see another Mac user 
However: you can rest assured that the mac will never tell you to remove a device unless you have requested to first eject it or during an admin task such as a software update. Fact is, you can pull a device from the Mac anytime you want.
You can also rest assured that if you do happen to pull a device (from the USB port for example) wihout first ejecting it, your Mac will NOT be damaged. There are circuit protectors in place to protect from this. But that's not sayng your device may survive.

For those that sometime can't remount device on windows, you should try unlocker. Very usefull app for unmount drives/suppress in-use files
