Nice! I'd recommend replacing the diodes with SMAJ24 for good measure, but you can remove them altogether. When working with the PCB, do not remove the top encoder holder, It might throw the calibration off a bit when reassembling. I did desolder the diodes on a couple of boards by alternatingly heating the diode pads from both sides till it went off, so no hot air needed. BTW, your PSU doesn't have that pot to tune the voltage like the Meanwell PSUs usually have? you could tune that to 22-23V and it should be good to go without any modifications.
