You can connect the second inverter to the first using a separate MPPT. This way, any excess solar power can be directed to charge the batteries, regardless of which inverter is generating it. Make sure your monitoring system can handle two inverters and check if there's any double counting in...

It's weird how they suddenly added all these extra steps and jacked up the shipping cost.

The traction battery can handle up to 250V AC or DC, it might work to directly charge your 48V battery with the Eltek Flatpack2 HE rectifier modules. Just make sure to monitor everything closely, especially the voltage levels, to avoid any mishaps.
