OK the story is starting to come together. I do not think you need any additional breakers. Although please confirm is that center breaker a two pole? Looks like one switch but connections for two branch circuits.
You can just cut the cord on the new converter and connect direct same as the old converter. If you prefer not to cut the cord consider a pigtail to plug into and just connect the pigtail same as the old converter.
Same goes for the 5 amp freezer. Just use the exterior outlet. Regardless of how many subpanels and additional breakers you add you are still limited to 30 amps. I would just rebalance the existing circuits to fit these in and make it work.
Above I posted a load shed device that can put two heavy items on one circuit. If it temporarily cuts off your converter or the electric water heater while you use the microwave I doubt you would even notice.
