Other consideration is that a lot of pilots now have LifePo4 batteries onboard. Wonder how those fair in fresh water landing and if any concern.

Salt water landings... yikes, the corrosion. Imagine it would trash the instrumentation.

As long as the cells in the battery aren't damaged enough to expose the innards to
the water, there shouldn't be any problems. I suspect damage to the battery is
much less likely in a water landing than a land landing.
