Well, since you have a "working" (as it turns on) car, there's probably not much harm to try to get CAN logs at various points.
My preference would be to work towards a SimpBMS clone, maybe on ESP32, but with the right CAN messages you could maybe transplant the VCU if that was your plan?
If you get really stuck you can sell the 10S/14S modules (https://evshop.eu/en/batteries/299-kia- ... -pack.html) on as solar storage etc. Or get the car going with a BMW PHEV pack in the short term while you work on this.
