It is always interesting to see new variations on a theme. Any reasonably hilly or stop and go might easily have enough energy input during regeneration to handle dynamic rebalancing. But on a flat and few stops trip, seems unlikely to be enough regeneration.
Other schemes I've seen did energy sharing between adjacent cells, or between a range of cells, or powered the 12V or other subsystem(s) off the strongest cells.
But do note that installing such a system on a current Leaf would be a very major engineering project, at best. Even using the Linear parts mentioned above shown above will require a lot of attention to analog details. If I was building my first production EV, I'd probably not risk doing something like this. Second or third EV, I'd want to consider this.
