But will that sort of regulator work on a Permanent magnet (dynamo) device?
It is my limited understanding that for a dynamo the heat sink regulator is
the only way?
Not challenging you here, just seeking to be educated in the obscure
wizardry of electrons.

No. A switching regulator will work just fine.
When the switching regulator cuts the generators circuit, the generator stops pushing electrons around. It becomes just some magnets spinning around a roll of copper. No heat is generated, because no electrons are moved around, and it doesn't eat any horsepower from the engine.
Look at the 3rd and 4th products on this page:
