Do you not have a fuse closer to the battery? I wouldn't trust it without one personally.
When I relocated my battery, at first, I left the stock fusible link in place, but wired it into a plastic box, then ran the wiring to a 150 fuse mounted next to the battery and then to the battery in the trunk. Eventually I removed the fuse in the engine bay and connected everything with a clean connection between the stock wiring and my rerouted wiring.
A buddy of mine only ran the stock fusible link in the engine bay, like your set up. Something happened with the battery and it shorted out, the entire length of wire that ran through the cabin of the car and to the engine bay caught fire.
