I am somewhat surprised that no one has developed a solodstate replacement for the mechanical relay timer used for the glow plugs. A variable time could be incorporated.

Depends on the temperature. I also have a '79 300SD. In all cases first start in the morning, I crank up the throttle control in the dash, wait for the glow plug light to go out, and crank it. If below 30 degrees F, I pump the pedal once or twice before cranking. If below 15 degrees F, I hold the throttle about half way. Once it's below 20-25 degrees F, it's going to take a bit of cranking. Below 5-10 degrees F, it could be a lot of cranking, like minute or so, continuous....
Once started for the day, it's pretty much just a twist of the key and off I go. Unless it's gotten cold again.
