That is spending 5 times as much money to accomplish the same task. In my personal opinion, providing CAN functionality to the pneumatics board is too complicated.

Ah. I see what you are saying.
I'd say you are in the minority in using pneumatics, not wanting to use a PCM, and using more than 2 relays. NI / CTRE built the system for the majority of users and yours seems like a pretty signicant edge case.
CAN on the PCM is 2 wires using reliable connectors and the programmer is blind to its application. Not really complicated.
