"The main DC generator is connected to the get-home engine.
A second DC alternator, smaller, is connected to the main engine...This is the way, I guess!"
It is A way , although the loads of as 4KW inverter underway will load the smaller alt far too much.
It is good in that with DC, the noisemaker can operate at a speed proper for the load, lowering noise and extending engine life.
With a clean sheet of paper I would choose Hyd instead of electric for many reasons.
