5KWh 1C Battery for Sunsynk
This post and your previous post confuse me as they seem to contradict one another. Could you perhaps expand a bit? Edit: oh wait, I see now you are talking about manufacturers seemingly incentivising consumers to buy a second battery. I think this view is disingenuous as it ignores the technical reasons for limiting discharge to 0.5C.

Sunsynk 8k Inverter (SG01LP1-EU) - Small unnecessary feed from grid?
I'm not sure what the SunSynk equivalent is but on my Deye I found selecting "zero export to CT“ worked better than "zero export to load".

You've bought media propoganda six love. Or are you an Eskom direct customer with a 3 phase, 24kVA connection?

Sunsynk 8kW inverter wifi dongle. Setup
Have you configured the WiFi on the logger yet? You need to join the logger's WiFi where you will be able to set the WiFi it should connect to.

What to do about my geyser?
The Sunsynk has passthrough up to 35A (i.e. 8kW). You could leave the 4kW element and should be okay, but if it was me I would switch out for a smaller element. Elements cost around R250. Water heating is linear, so halving the element size will double the required time which, in most circumstances, is not an issue.

Help choosing the right inverter
Virtually all inverters will work as long as there is grid connected. It might not blend sources though - i.e. if draw exceeds available PV it'll switch over to grid only as opposed to one that blends which will only draw in the needed extra from grid.

Geyser PTC Elements
Do you have any sort of energy monitoring on your geyser and perhaps able to shed light on their claims that it uses less electricity than a standard element?

3phase Inverter or convert to 2x Single Phase inverts
Have you been able to gauge whether the PTC elements do in fact use less electricity than standard elements?

Geyser next steps
1) Yes that will help. 2) you can simply use a standard 2 kW element. I don't get the big push for expensive PTC elements
