Eric, Very nice! I just added A209674, which is the number of steps to reach 5. Neil
Every number also reaches 4, and 1, as well as 5. Any reason the time to reach 5 is the thing that seems interesting, rather than the time to reach 1 or 4? I think everything ultimately ends up in one of two cycles: 358134711235 or 459145. Isn't the time to reach a cycle really the interesting thing, rather than the time to reach the 5 in the cycle?

Start sequence S with any integer. If a(n) is the sum of the last two digits of S, S will always hit 5 at some point. Best, É.
