I personally do not like the PD charger, it does not have a "float" voltage and relies on the lithium BMS to cut it off by disconnecting the battery. I prefer some redundancy. For example, in my setup the Victron will charge to 14.0V then switch to 13.4V float which is low enough to minimize further charging (3.35VPC). The BMS will disconnect the battery at 14.4V. So normally the BMS is never asked to disconnect...

I think that what I look at is that the recommendations for most of the better lithium systems want full cutoff at less than 100% full batteries and no float. I would just use a fixed voltage PD charger and a Victron monitor to trigger a relay to shut off or on for the charger. Best of everything, including having a good shunt based battery monitor. And you still have the BMS in case of a backup protection.
