NO.
This would make the radio the first thing to die when the battery voltage sags. This configuration will lose matches. I hope inspectors pay extra attention to this circuitry.
It isn't optimal due to design history (PD designed for 12V router, switched to 5V router without redesigning PD), but it works. The theory is that the PD can put out 12V all the way down to 3V, and the external buck takes it down to 5V. Without the PD's 12V boost, the router will collapse somewhere north of 5V.
