I think I can defend by asking whether this sentence doesn't need a comma before "on whom". "Such" defines the man already, doesn't it?While it's admittedly very unlikely, I think that that one is possible:
A:What we need is a cunning, resourceful, brave, possibly foolhardy, man, but at the same time one who will not let you down.
B: There is such a man on whom I can rely. He worked for me in MI6.
I don't think 'such' is necessarily redundant here. B is speaking of a man of that type (cunning, resourceful, etc) on whom he can rely, not just 'a man'.
