Hi Cobb, Merry Christmas. talked with the designer of DC DC, the limit of 17A is not from blocking diode. If DC DC stops after a pump, it shuts off and enters protection. At this time, need to restart it manually as it can't restart itself. AS DC DC shuts off, the whole kit is shut off. So Prius will run EV mode on its own battery system. That is why "EV mode was limited to like a mile".
You are great to make a balancer yourself. I am thinking you are an expert in this field.
Many blessings to you.
