Well, after 2 years of service it decided enough was enough..... Contactor it is!
I've also stopped using Shelly as it keeps tripping off the Shelly thermal protection.
I'm now using Switchbot to flick the original switch on/off.

Before its sudden and untimely demise, temps were always steady.
Mine was running in eco mode and that was always 10-20 degrees cooler than without eco

Are those internal temps? No wonder it died, typical electrolytic caps are rated -40 to +85, sometimes +105, but it's usually only one or two thousand hours at those temps. So running a +85 rated electrolytic at close to that temp means its warranty is void after that time.
This is why lots of LED bulbs never get close to their 50,000 hour lifetime: Duh, cap rated for 105 degrees, we run at 100 degrees, we all good.
