Here are my 20 cents.
If you really want to make sure to watch over parallel cells is to design terminals to implement EV style switches ( it will need to disconnect from parallel to single cells where only one is in 16S system and another one will be disconnected for measuring and checking or...
And if you wanna go even more extreme to bypass resistance with setup i have mentioned you can build bridge switch that will bypass EV switches for better efficiency. Let me know if you need some drawings how would look from engineering standpoint using engineering languages.
