If it is vented, I can't see why this wouldn't be an issue. If worried about the batteries, replace them with AGMs and call it done. As an added bonus, since the MPPT controller doesn't have a fan, the venting helps in keeping the CC cooler.
Only thing I'd make sure to have would be proper fuses, but that is just a general all-around safety precaution I take. Even the main positive terminal on my battery gets a catastrophic fuse in case of a dead short.
