It's fine to run off the 12v output with a small value breaker.

Thanks for all the input, we went with a Marine supply breaker for the snap action fuses (6 on a panel) ~75$, and for the VRM we took a cell phone car adapter USB connector ~6$ and soldered onto the converter inside it takes 12V in and puts out 5V 2A. All up and running now.

Thanks again
