The three-stage converters do not stay at 14.4 very long and revert to 13.6 as their normal voltage so the batteries will not overcharge.
The 12v items work ok in the 14s but the lights will burn out faster over time than if at 12. The Norcold fridge control has an upper limit of 15.4 DC. Inverters have an upper limit DC input voltage too, such as 15v but they have a shut off for that.
You disconnect the rig's 12v systems from the batteries when equalizing at over 15.3v.
