When they changed in ~1990 the old fender relay stuck around but that was probably more about not having to re-design the power distribution than actually needing such a big-ass relay to kick the solenoid over.

Thanks all for the info about swapping out to the newer starter style. If/when I replace the starter I'll most likely go that route.
I finally got around to replacing the solenoid this past weekend (not really driving much with quarantine and all...). New solenoid seemed to do the trick. I'll keep an eye on it but so far so good.
