Bosch relay starter mode question

Is this mod a proven preventive fix to keep the ignition switch from crapping out eventually or does it belong to the "if it ain't broke, leave it alone" school?

It will help an ignition switch with high resistance contacts but is it known for sure that the switch got that way because it lacked being relayed in the beginning so it would see lower amperages ?

Yes it got that way because of the high current that flows, as described here.
