Trust the science. Trust that the OEMs would not spend an extra penny on a BMS if they did not have to. Believe that you will have a fire that could very well burn down your house if you forgo a BMS.
A very good support; I had intended to respond but it was too late when I noticed. You did a FAR better than I would have. We've had quite a few here advocating bottom balancing. Most seem to have silently disappeared without reporting what ever problems they may have encountered.
I was going to suggest that putting all cells in parallel before discharging down to minimum voltage was a very easy and effective way to precisely bottom balance.
I have not had patience to wait out most of Jack Rickard's videos but do remember a very early one touting bottom balancing. His primary point was that bottom balanced voltage would drop off so perspicaciously as the battery neared full discharge that there was little risk of ignoring a few low cells as might be the case with top balancing.
