Perhaps, but I will contrast that with what Mab did at the beginning of Skin Game, when she approached the Island, she did it by boat and asked permission before she stepped foot on it. Why? because Harry was in charge now, the defenses were now back in place.

Alfred likes a purpose. Plus... maybe he feels good about adding inmates. Under Harry he got to add Ethniu, and at least temporarily Thomas. Maybe he can't jail people without orders, and he is reluctant to blow them away.
Plus, didn't we hear about a failsafe? I have to assume Merlin puts one in. I would.

Alfred is a completist, and Harry got him the Last Titan, now if he could just get that last pesky Naagloshii….
Alfred was stalemated in Cold Days because of the limitation he was acting under, he couldn’t bring his full power to bear.
Mab I think survived because of her tie to the Warden. Without the Warden also having the Winter Knight Mantle (which he had to voluntarily assume) Mab would likely be having to reconstitute herself, she presented as a ally of the Warden because of it. That gave Alfred more leeway than with an hostile or neutral. Even so, Mab was not sure how far she could go, and Harry could revoke that status at any time.

I find very little to suggest the spirit retains any per-warden protocols past the tenure of any given Warden.
I suspect each successive Warden finds the island's "protocols" much as originally established by OG Merlin.
OTOH, there also isn't much to suggest my own "revert to Merlin's settings" belief.
The texts (and WoJ, afaik) don't really address this, so far.

I have a laugh imagining Alfred catching Pokemon around the island ;D

Which is why the island needs a Warden, and why Alfred was relieved when Harry became Warden. I'm not sure one can assign emotions to Alfred, but he is aware enough to know the island, i.e. the prison when it has no Warden is more vulnerable under his limited protection than when it does have a Warden.
