Re: Using the 12v-5v converter for powering custom circuits?

If I were asked for clarification on this issue, I would disallow it.

There is a good bit of margin in the design of that boost regulator, but not enough to justify the added risk of allowing arbitrary extra loads. Browning out that supply will likely decide a match against you.

However, it is fine for non-competition use.
