As you know you would need to relay EVERY intercepted signal including VSS, boost solenoid 1&2, rear o2 bank a&b, etc, for such a failsafe to work. Relaying just 2 or 3 of the signals would serve no purpose. But relays won't protect you from corrupting firmware during an update. The nice thing about the JB3 is at least you know its corrupt. Rather than driving around and finding out only after your boost goes crazy...

I don't think firmware is the OPs problem as he didn't mention he was doing a firmware update. Probably something hardware related I'd guess but would take some troubleshooting.
