It would be an interesting experiment to see if the brownout-DC-DC converter
would work without the relay. The purpose of the relay is to provide
milliseconds of delay in opening the circuit after cranking the engine. When the
engine starts, human reaction time for releasing the start button provides a
delay. If the engine does not start, the need for a delay depends on the battery
voltage. Doesn't the battery voltage start recovering within a few milliseconds
after engine cranking begins?

Yes, a delay greater than the dropout delay
in the starter contactor.

Usually . . . if the battery is
relatively robust and in good
condition. Try it without
the relay. It can't do anything
worse than not work.

Update: yesterday I tested to see how well the DC-DC converter does its job with a battery in less than optimal condition (12.1 Volts without any loads on it).
I saw that the output voltage of the DC-DC converter dropped to 9.85 Volts initially and quickly (well below 1 second) recovers to the set point of 12.5 Volts.
This 9.85 Volts is well above the brownout point for my EFIS so it still is no issue for me, but I thought it would be worthwhile to share, so others are aware that the DC-DC converter takes some time to reach the set point voltage when battery voltage is lower than normal.
