Then we could just use a switch to keep 12V on the relay, to keep current going to the GPs for as long as we want (a mechanical timer switch would be optimal I think).
Or am I oversimplifying it? Seems to me that this would be an optimal, easy setup if the OE relay was working.

Theres probably lots of ways to do it. My goal was to make it simple, I can operate the button with my left hand and turn the key with my right. why use a timer switch, just hold the button longer.
