Since we are on the subject of the battery systems, might be off-topic, but throwing here.
Ecoflow, Anker, Bluetti, Yeti, and etc companies make these heavy duty power stations:
Ecoflow DELTA Pro
Anker Solix F2600
Bluetti AC500
Yeti goal zero 6000X

I've been attracted by these power stations where all-in-one-solution and use it for the next 5-10yrs and upgrade to the next-gen battery power stations as the battery technology evolves.

Seems like having all these separate Victron components taking up way too much spaces and giving me an impression that they will cost more to upgrade down the road due to the compatibility issue with the new next-gen battery, I'm saying all these w/o the actual experiences, just my impression based on my reads from the internet, ----> could be total wrong :)

The user should figure out their power needs based off of what they do. Too many people jjust follow the herd without really knowing what they need. There’s no one size fits all approach. I’ve met people who need a battery bank that can power an air conditioner, because they have dogs that may stay in the van on a sunny day. What makes sense for one person may not make sense for another.

A dual alternator system utilizing a Wakespeed regulator is not complex.
Add up the costs of ALL the components needed to operate a lithium system then compare the to an AGM system. Lithium batteries have a lot of overhead that you don’t account for in your cost comparison. It more than just the price of the battery.
If dual alternator it is not complex, then conversely it is simple? Good luck with that.

Not sure if you didnt like what I said about AGM vs Lithium or if you just want to argue with yourself about it. Good luck with that.

I keep going back and forth on the AGM vs Lifpo batteries. They both have pros and cons.

<<If dual alternator it is not complex, then conversely it is simple?>> I should clarify, complexity is a subjective term, what appears complex to one person may not appear complex to another. I apologize for the misunderstanding.

So why were you dissatisfied enough with your 4 yr old Renogy lithium batteries to spend more money to replace them?

There are lots of threads here with users complaining about very slow (10-20A) DCDC charging while driving with Bluetti and other devices.
Then, they try to come up with complicated and expensive solutions.

Make sure you understand the limitations.

I love when you gents giving me the pointers.
Makes me want to go research and learn more about the products and issues.

Thanks again!
