Without or without an inrush current limiter, damage is unlikely.
However supplies with an inrush current limiter are even less likely
to suffer damage.

Same 'spark' would exist inside a switch. Making a faster 'break or
make' would reduce spark's intensity. But power is still applied just
as abruptly.
