As shown below Wiki help says pinch hitting decisions are independent of whatever settings you have for "Don't relieve for"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Note that there are ways that he may still leave the game before his designated fatigue level, including if he's set to Avoid Lefties or Avoid Righties, if the situation calls for another pitcher you've assigned to a matching Super Hal Bullpen Role, or if the computer manager decides to pinch-hit for him."

We might not agree with the computer manager ignoring the fatigue setting when deciding to pinch hit, but, at least, the Wiki is telling us up front that you can't stop pinch hitting with this setting.
I still say if Koufax is pitching 300+ innings and 83% of his wins are complete games, then, it's realistic. Perranoski pitched a lot of relief innings for the Dodgers in real life.
