Yes, it shouldn't matter most scenarios. Just thinking about how heating takes time and how it would all operate.
I don't know if the -10C stop discharging is a good idea. What if some unusual night the heat pads can't keep up and the batts get to -12C? If the cells can take -20C, and the BMS can be set there why not use that? What does it do for you not to use all the margin it could have?
Worst thing is no 12v all of a sudden. Now the heaters won't work except from the truck's starting batt, or the gen (night time event) -20C setting would give you more margin to still have 12v.
