From a safety standpoint, I personally would want to see the spike included on board, so you don't have a pair of live wires dangling off the robot where they could potentially short out and pop the breaker on your PD repeatedly during a match.
That particular safety issue could be mitigated by setting using a quick disconnect similar to what's used for the battery. You could even route a PWM extension cable along with the power and hot glue it to the outside of the connector.

Regardless, I don't believe it is legal within the confines of FRC to have an off-board relay to go along with your compressor.
