I can confirm that whereas "regular" shadows are excluded, this is not the case for contact shadows if you set the Material Shadow Mode to None.

Not seeing this mentioned as a limitation here:
https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/dev/render/eevee/lighting.html#contact-shadows

So will confirm for now (even though I can imagine this being a limitation @fclem?)

Yes this is a limitation missing from the documentation.

So will keep this report as a TODO for documentation.
