But actually the measurements of a remote observer, passing by at significant velocity, is irrelevant (at least for the rod).

But everything is remote to an observer, even his instruments may be
remote.  There is always time delay between you and the rest of the
universe, it's just that it is insignificant in many cases, for the
purposes being investigated.
