If you want is as part of the import, it should be discussed during,
not after the import.

The vast majority of OSM users never need to know what relations are
at all, but it does not matter, since the tools they use will do the
right thing. We do not need to fill up the database with duplicate
data for no reason.

All I see in that file is sql statements  for transforming the data
you've collected and managing it. I do not see any code related to how
you will:

1. Merge it with existing OSM data

2. Validate the data you have with ground truth

Those are what I'm most concerned about. Please tell me how your
process will handle this validation step.
