I would also not ever use an option to make the overwrite behaviour optional. More specifically, I do use the option to prevent author/title overwrites, so I would not want the two options combined. Thus, the only way to do this would be to have a separate option only for series.
When I wrote the original option, I considered a separate click box option setting for each bit of metadata, but that was just too many options. We would have needed a whole page for them, plus another page on the single metadata fetch screen, as this option is controllable in both the single fetch screen (as you work) and on the Preferences|General screen (as a default for bulk metadata fetching).
I'm not sure if Kovid would want to add an option (in both locations?) for just series.

The series index is virtually always correct when auto-filled which means that does not need correcting.

FYI - series index is part of the code that checks for the series name - they're handled as a pair. Calibre only tries to put in the index if it finds a series name during the search and there's no series name already in the database.
