I'm using a Viper alarm/starter, and I'm working on building a push-button starter setup that incorporates the IGN/ACC relays

in the DEI relay pack...

Instead of powering and wiring in my own Bosch relays, can I just send a lead to the input side of the relay pack for the ACC/IGN and use it instead?

Any issues with using them 100% of the time the car is in use?

avoide using the xrs pack. just use your own relays because if anything goes wrong, at least the relays can be replaced easily.

I agree, i would wire the relays instead of using XRS. I have had a few failures while relays are bullet proof and easily changed if need be...
