Makes sense. In that case you could hardwire the pump switch as you suggested and install a smart switch as a “dummy”. The line side of the switch can still be wired to the same circuit (N and L), you just don’t connect the load side. By using the same circuit, the switch will also shut off when you flip the pump breaker. If you use an Inovelli or Zooz switch, you can configure them for smart bulb operation where they won’t turn the relay on/off, just so you don’t have a clock when you operate them. You could also set up z wave direct association with the well pump, which should eliminate the need for routines to link the two (but you can still use routines for scheduling etc).
I think I would have installed two smart switches, one as a “dummy” with no load and one for the pump hidden behind a cover guard as suggested by @JDRoberts . If both of the switches are GE Enbrighten, you can use @philh30 Edge driver that allows for association groups so that when the dummy switch is turned on, it turns on the pump switch hidden behind the cover.
This is an Edge driver for GE/Jasco/Honeywell Z-Wave switches, dimmers, fans, outlets, and plug-ins, covering the range of generations from the legacy non-Plus devices to the current Z-Wave Plus devices with central scene support. Depending on the capabilities of the particular model, the driver supports:
Setting configuration parameters
Adding nodes to association groups 2 (load) and 3 (double tap)
Double/triple tap button events
Hub is automatically added to association group 3 for models that support double tap but do not support central scene
