the fan can you always rely on the fan starting at some point with a

Different fans will start at different voltages.

Your circuit is NOT a thermistor and a fan in series, right?

I think the question is will the fan ALWAYS start with a slowly ramping
voltage, rather than perhaps sit there in a stalled state.
