It's not quite enough, because eshell-mode defines some more keys, so
settings like
(define-key eshell-command-map [(control ?a)] 'my-eshell-bol)
would still get overridden every time eshell starts. And there are
additional key definitions in other eshell files. The definitions set
up by eshell-command seem the most tricky to fix (probably requires
splitting out to a separate keymap):
(defun eshell-return-exits-minibuffer ()
(define-key eshell-mode-map [(control ?g)] 'abort-recursive-edit)
(define-key eshell-mode-map [return] 'exit-minibuffer)
...)
(defun eshell-command (&optional command arg)
...
;; Enable `eshell-mode' only in this minibuffer.
(minibuffer-with-setup-hook #'(lambda ()
(eshell-mode)
(eshell-return-exits-minibuffer))

We don't document bugs in the manual.
