That is just one ****ed-up bit of design if something as simple as a
battery disconnect on depletion to a setpoint is not included.

would make no difference - the battery will eventually die (permanently)
even if not connected since it will self discharge.

In 11 weeks from say half charge? That's quite a significant discharge
rate...

One could accept if you garaged it for a year or more that this could be an
issue, but the article suggests there is too much idle load on the batteries
in the form of systems running.
