The other option is a cap circuit, full analog, and "dumb" but acts as
a buffer so the float has to be full on for a second+ to light the
light. We worked one up once that functions but the capacitor needed
isn't small, about the size of a C battery.

Fortunately it's not so expensive that I can't use it as a fallback if I can't get the timer circuit to work out right. Definitely looks like a more plug and play solution.
