Switch as group with split phase Multiplus 24/3000

Hi,
I have two Multiplus inverters with a Venus GX setup in a split phase setup for a couple years now working well.
I have a solar inverter that has a backup single phase 2kW outlet I'd like to use if we have a long power outage.

Is it safe to just disable switch as group so I can use the backup single phase outlet? I've seen some posts on the forum saying there may be unexpected behavior but haven't found what that behavior would be.

@Eli Hunter

ESS assitant does not work if switched as a group is off.

Great, thanks Alexandra.
I'm in the US so can't feed back to the grid with Victron equipment and so can't use ESS. Seems to be working as expected with switch as group disabled.
