Over complicated dilema....

Hello, please go easy with me and take some time to look at my 'Over Complicated' setup derived from my slightly autistic/electrical mind. I'm guilty of several things the worst being OTT with obsessions. The obvious things you will observe are the two shunts on POS and NEG. I have an Electrodacus BMS not fitted yet (cell wires are fitted on batt at this point) and this calls for a shunt in the pos leg. My truck will be left from time to time so remote monitoring will be required. I have the battery protect and Orion to control the 24v and 12v for shut off via BMS. Victron 24/3000 inverter and Victron 150/85-TR SCC. There is also the BMV 712.
My new obsession has been implanted by a third party and that's the use of a Victron Cerbo GX to control the whole lot. Would it make sense to go ahead and get/use one of these and keep the Electrodacus purely for the battery monitoring (yes i know there's a BMV 712 as well...!!!) or could I integrate it with the Cerbo GX somehow...??? The sketch and list attached was knocked up this morning as reference rather than a 50,000 word explanation....

Many thanks in advance once again if you do take some time to look at this...

Part 13, the Truck battery is not well labeled. Is it hopefully 24V?
 
Is the shiny metal thing in the bottom left corner a contactor?

Yes 'Over The Top' and no not a contactor, it's HD on/off rotary switch listed on ebay as an OEM Landrover product with a ridiculous amps rating well over a 1000amps DC.

This is a simple 100a s/p mcb there as a secondary point of isolation and to safeguard against battery to battery contact even though and to answer the question yes both 24v batteries.
