Curious: Couldn't one get "best of both worlds" with a very small 12v battery on the main supply line (alt, engine, accessories), then diode to a cap boost pack (like seen in prior video) that connects directly to starter? My thought is, this would keep the cap charged much longer and keep vehicle more reliable for longer durations, but provide the "instant" power to the starter, even if you run the battery dead from a stereo or lights on. Definitely higher cost all together, but just a thought.
