Really nice layout Tom,
I’ve never seen a DC-DC converter that boosts and splits the voltage. We learn stuff every day

Yep. They're out there. They're commonly known as split-rail converters. You can get them as a non-isolated version (TI TPS65131, for example) or with transformer-isolation between input and output as in the Mean Well DKM-series that I use.
