I thought this an interesting question.
You are right, Stefan Bellof was probably the last genuine F1 driver to run in other programs in 1984 and 1985 he drove for Tyrrell in F1, and Brun in WEC (Champion in 1984) and Deutsche Rennsport Meisterschaft (precursor to DTM on steroids) (Champion in 1984). Quite a program.
Teo Fabi was the last full time F1 driver to run at Indy in 1984 before Alonso in 2017.
Michele Alboreto appears to be the last full time F1 driver to run in F2 in 1981, the 1982 F2 Championship being billed as a feeder to F1 seems to indicate that maybe the FIA changed some sort of entrance criterion??
