Yes, perhaps the following options could be made:
  • an "update" ebook on the device, meaning delete current selected ebook(s) on the device, immediately followed by an "add" for the same ebook(s) from calibre to the device without removing the annotations;
  • a "remove" on the device, in which the selected ebook(s) are completely removed from the device, including any existing annotation files.
This would give you all the freedom to add, update & delete ebooks on your device.

I use the delete/add combo a lot when correcting the formatting of ebooks, so the "update" option would be nice

But there is no pressure for this feature, there are certainly more urgent matters to attend to.
