How can I protect control boards from over DC voltage
Can I use something like this DORK buck ? I am thinking in the event if my converter fails and voltage goes high of I don't isolate batteries before I equalize them.

Just how high are you equalizing? Anything that runs on "12v" should be good at 15v, especially "automotive" stuff like an RV uses. 12v nominal is more like 13.2+ most of the time, 14.4v some of the time, and well, like you equalizing, a bit higher too
I wouldn't go putting buck regulators on all your dc loads, despite what ebay / amazon claims, a buck regulator is seldom a one size fits all power supply. they generally need to be matched to the load. DROK's el-cheapo multi-turn trim pots does not count as matching the smps to the load.
If you're truly concerned about your converter failing, replace it with a quality unit, one that has integrated over-voltage protection.
just my 5 cents as an armchair electrical engineer
