Victron is Over-priced Eurotrash. Why would anybody buy Victron over an AiO?

So the question is will I need more hardware for lom detection in the USA?
While “experimenting” with this ESS, I have determined that LOM B works just fine for me to detect outages.

Officially, I have a chargeverter to keep my batteries charged, no grid connection to inverters.
Bottom line here is that Victron is not UL listed, and will not be approved by POCO or AHJ.

No. It's automatic based on what's happening at AC Input 1.

Side note:

LOM exists even if ESS is not in use.

LOM detection can be annoying for users using grid as backup. They will set various criteria for "ignoring AC input". Once the criteria are met to ignore AC input, this will trigger LOM (mains are actually preset - they are just being ignored) alarm. Most prefer to disable LOM function in the cerbo to get rid of the error.

Ok thanks. Just making sure that if I'm in the USA using a victron it won't backfeed the grid if the grid is down
 
So this is a mounting spacer for the shunt and lynx? With some touch protection? Bit more fancy than some shims and acrylic.
