although your systems will need to recharge their power buffers
If you are to be believed, not quite. I mean I get your point, but if your weapons are on a 5 second reload and they need to recharge, thats as much as 5 seconds of damage you've lost upon switching reactors, unless you time it real well. If your turrets are set up with timed activation it would probably get messed up too. So I guess I'd agree it's not a death sentence, but still not worth doing for the purpose kikaha stated.You can fire your weapons during this time however.
