Nice work! The factory ground, IF clean and star lockwashered, is more than capable of passing all the current that battery can make. I would be more concerned with the rear subframe grounding to the mainframe. Yes it's metal-to-metal but those metals are aluminum, notorious for degrading connections over time. If you back the subframe bolts out and re-torque, that should give a cleaner connection. Also there's a bonding strap on the top rear engine mount under the airbox that I haven't seen addressed here. That should be cleaned and refit with dielectric grease also.

Or

Do a voltage drop test to verify the ground potential, or lack there of.

Oh, that's too easy, she'll like you better if you give her some attention!

I'd already done the ground fix. This is just a case of belt & suspenders...
