If there is a risk of corrosion taking place between the metallic faces of the parts bolted together, or if there is the risk of a paint layer between them, then almost certainly. There needs to be a level of redundancy in earthing systems.

And of course,

if you want to reduce the earth fault energy at places around aux. equipments, which are fed thru a seperate breaker.

Also, max. fault level is at the alternator body earthing.
