Great work! I've used a TL-MR3020 myself. It's a nice tool to have in the bag. I've done "HamWAN portable" with essentially this same kit in a backpack while hanging off a tower--the wifi makes it possible to use a cellphone to check signal strengths while aiming a dish.

For those who don't have one already, I'd recommend looking at the mAP https://www.balticnetworks.com/mikrotik-map-lite-2-4ghz-magnetic-dual-chain-indoor-ap.html. It doesn't handle cellular modems* like the TL-MR3020, but it is tiny, can run directly off 12V (PoE injected), and comes with the full Mikrotik Router OS so you can do advanced routing stuff if needed.

* Mikrotik has some cellular modem support via USB, but I haven't tried it on the mAP... It might be possible.

Do you have any plans for a permanent installation? I know one thing I don't want to have to deal with during a disaster: setting up a HamWAN link.

I got my hamwan link Working from the historic Madison Park ferry dock in Seattle to Haystack with 1.8mbps down and 3.8 up. Then connected to a tplink WiFi hotspot and sent Winlink email from a laptop and email from an iPhone. Pretty darned happy with this new super power. Thanks Puget Sound Hamwan volunteers.
