       If I understand your question right, you are drawing 24V from the entire bank and then feeding that 24V into a converter that gives you 12V for "the 12V stuff", right?.  If that's right, then, yes, you're good.  It only the "center tap" where people pull 12V from one battery that makes for uneven draw on the different batteries in the bank.  The Vanner will make that uneven draw equal for the "center tap" installs and that spares a lot of unneeded stress on your batteries.
