Re contactors and solonoids (maybe it would be clearer to talk about only contactors or only solonoids - aren't they the same?)
Maybe I'm confused but on my Lycoming, the only solonoid for the starter is the separate contactor near the battery (in addition to the master switch contactor). This is different from auto starters where there is a contactor/solonoid right at the starter.
On my mazda installation the builder had a hot line from the battery to the starter solonoid. I changed it to route from the master contactor so that it is still hot when the master is on but dead when master off.
Is someone suggesting  2nd contactor for the starter?
