Yes, the coupling sheared.
I don't want to fly on the rear alternator and take the chance that the front alternator gear, which is somewhat less well supported when no longer connected to the alternator, might start clashing with the engine gear. By an ironic coincidence, there is a local 337 here whose owner today told me that happened to his engine and it cost him $18,000.
In an emergency, I might fly with one, but this isn't an emergency.
