Yes, with flooded lead acid batteries, the batteries will be happy. Most people use different sorts of batteries. That's the problem. It's a complex subject and simple answers won't do.

Don't forget that that 2v differential will drastically reduce when current starts flowing due to the overpotential effect.

Yes, it will, after a while. But not soon enough to avoid burning out the electroblock.

Yes, it will, after a while.

During charging overpotential is the additional voltage that needs to be applied to the battery in order to drive the chemical process of charging and you can't get a charge current unless the overpotential is overcome first. Overpotential thus limits current instantly.
