Do entity indexes that are not used immediately need to be converted to entity references?

Entity references, do you need to switch back to the entity index when using entities?

It is a good practice because an entity index can be taken over by another entity after a while, especially the ones created by plugins. If you are using the index in the same frame you probably won't have any issue but otherwise yes.
