I like the idea of an auto feeder. Start using it now, and you will have it fine tuned by the time you go on vacation.
That separate breaker is a good idea as well. I would then use a heater, set up for 1 deg lower than your reg. heater. and a small powerhead pump.

Best to err on the side of caution i think! You know murphys law! Looks like you have a solid plan, the only thing i would say is that i wouldnt worry too much about the fish finding food. Ive never really trusted auto feeders, heard too many stories about them failing!

There are plenty of pods in my tank, and not many fish to pick at em... I'm not even sure that the autofeeder would get a feeding response from the fish without a person standing in front of the tank to let them know there's food coming. Maybe I'll try running it for a few days to see if they notice and eat the flake food first.
