The X terminal isn't a problem -- it's already driving a relay.  It's
the 50 (starter solenoid which is a highly inductive load and tends
to arc in the switch) and especially the 15 (all the
ignition-switched loads including the loads switched by the X-contact
relay) that take a beating.

The relays are inductive loads as well, but on a very much smaller scale.
