Looks fine up to about 6 amps I reckon, judging from the size of that relay. Not a huge high power coil on that so a simple npn transistor switching the coil to ground would be fine. Got a diode across the coil to catch the back-EMF, looks like all the basics are covered .Would only bother adding extra solder to the tracks for the relay contacts if I was doing it but that's neither here nor there.
Dunno what those eevblog folks are on about 🤷
