Also, "bringing it up to code" is all subjective as you had mentioned but if his electrician is pulling a permit to install that 50A circuit, then he will fail the inspection if he doesnt put the GFCI breaker. He can bypass it by not pulling the permit and dealing with it later when he is trying to sell the house by claiming ignorance as the home inspector will point these out to be fixed before buying the house and its upto the buyer to enforce it or not
You wouldn’t because the EVSE already has a GFCI built into it which is what causes the nuisance trips if 2 are on the same circuit. You don’t need a second one on the breaker.
