Fire Suppression system for the Van?

Been contemplating some sort of Fire Suppression system that I could mount under my gaucho bench (where I have two Amps, most of the electronics, Inverter, Espar, etc) to protect from complete loss in the event of a fire developing.
Just ran across this BlazeCut Automatic Fire Suppression System - Similar to the results of the Element, but these ignite automatically in the event of flames. Very interesting and looks like it would fulfill all requirements for my intended application. Pretty persuasive videos too!
**** Anyone here see any reason this wouldn't be a good idea? ****
(It seems logical to me, but I'm naive with this kind of stuff which motivates me to solicit confirmation or scrutiny.)
Thanks in advance for any insight provided.

Along with the Element extinguishers this sort of system might be something of high consideration. The USA site is informative: https://www.blazecutusa.com/

I like the suppressing agent in that its gaseous and wouldn't leave any sort of residue should it ever be deployed---that's a huge upside over the traditional pressurized extinguishers. My ONLY concern is the triggering temperature which is stated at about 221* F. I don't think there's many places inside vehicles that approach those temps but even so maybe a bit of pre-installation temperature monitoring would be in order, something over a few months? Heat sensitive paints maybe?

I especially like the under hood possibility for my gassers---not sure if the diesel engines running hard would trigger one of these? For electrical bays they'd be great. The switched versions might be interesting for we who love gadgets.

Great find---thanks for sharing!
