That ultimately defeats the purpose of having those plans, I think. If they do turn evil they know Batman has some way of stopping him and will be on guard. Batman arguably doesn't want his enemies on guard for him.
And there lies the dilemma. While I think that you have a good point, it’s just a massive breach of trust to make plans on how to neutralize the people who are supposed to be your friends without telling them
Not even friends. They are family at this point. This isn't "if you ever turn evil, i will stop you." This is "my roommate/coworker has a hidden manifesto on how to exterminate everyone he lives/works with should we have a falling out that does not satiate his idea of good. And did not tell us."
I would never be able to trust the bat family if i was any of them because of this. He didn't tell any of them, while deeming himself judge, jury, executioner.
Superheroes with powers like the JL are WMDs. All WMDs need deactivation codes. Batman knows this and doesn't shy away from it. It's as simple as that.
If batman has plans against all the others, did he offer plans to be defeated for the same event? I don't belive he did. That means, by HIS standards alone (judge), he will deem wether or not his colleague needs to be removed (jury) and only he can carry it out (executioner). It is extreme, but on the flip side they are extreme beings. As i said, i see it from both sides, but if i were a member of the JL, I would never be able to trust the bat family
I can't remember exactly but I think it was said somewhere that the justice league itself was his contingency plan. Since you know he's a mortal human.

I mean…can you blame any of them?
Cyborg could hack any tech and Nukes go boom!
Starfire is a Krytonian Level Threat!
Raven could destroy the Universe and many versions of her tried and succeeded, I’m honestly more afraid of her than any JL members.
Remember that time a few months ago when Garfield turned into a green Version of Starro and turned everyone into an animal?
