As these routes are added The whole point with this check is that as you say we're validating everything as we instantiate the card, not piecemeal while the map is partially constructed.

You said yourself that we sync everything when the card is instantiated. Not on first capture or record, when the card is instantiated. If for some reason there is some problem with that on your system please fix that, don't add a bodge somewhere else to mask the problem.
