Since I bought my 2024 20T of March 2024, Iv'e done a bunch of upgrades. Some to make it easier and some to make it better.
Here is my list.

1. Upgraded the Batteries to 2 100 amp hour lithium. This required, 2 batteries, wire, terminal blocks, Upgraded the BIM-225 to a LI-BIM-225. The converter was already lithium ready. Also added a Victron Shunt. The batteries and shunt, I installed under the passenger side bed.
2. Added a waterproof rifle box on the roof to store extra tools and cleaners not used very often. (No guns)
3. Cut into the passenger side bed wall to make a dog feeding station.
4. Installed a WeBoost to hopefully get a better cell signal. Have not used it yet. Still in the installation stage.
5. Installed a curtain to drop down when a Full window shade is not needed for privacy.
6. Noticed that the 1-1/2 straps installed under the black and grey tanks were beginning to crease the tanks. I used a 6 inch wide X 1/2 inch thick plywood and installed it in between the strap and the plastic tank to spread out the force of the straps.
7. Installed various 12 USB charging stations.
8. Tray above bed and under the cabinet.
9. CPAP Tray above bed. Use either with 12 volt adapter or 120 volt cord.
10. Cut a series of holes to better vent the crowded electrical area under bed.
They are not mind blowing upgrades but it may assist in what you would like to do with yours.

11. Plastic chrome craps for the ugly lug bolts.
12. Blue light under steps. I heard that blue may keep the critters away. Maybe maybe not, but it looks cool.

Thanks for sharing your upgrades. I see in your photo of the extra holes around the circuit panel, a controller for the inverter perhaps. My 2024 Swift 20T did NOT come with that, despite the owner's manual showing illustrations of it and of its use. I am assuming that that was factory installed.
 
I cut those holes in myself. The larger square one has a computer style fan behind it.
I tried to get as much ventilation as possible. They crammed so much jn so little space
