I abandoned the idea of using this LCD monitor mainly because I abandoned Pb-batteries. Luckily I made only a few for testing purposes. They worked fine.

But I'd like to get similar monitoring system as you described. Small and simple bar display which doesn't show volts but a rising/lowering bar which is related to voltage level. One could easily tell which cell sags the most. I believe it could be a simple loop-style wiring with no spaghetti involved if using canbus. It could even be integrated into miniBMS or such system. Two wires running from module to other and only two wires running from pack to master module. No high voltage either.
