If I blacklist the pcspkr device in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist, things are a little different:

No beep (or system alert sound) plays anymore, even with "play alert sounds" checked. Even clicking the little play buttons no longer plays the sound (neither beep nor the audio file). There is no more annoying beep on shutdown either.
