Can you improve this Automated Storage System?

Hello factorian friend,

Can you help me improve this creation ?
It is an automated storage system that works with two saturation detectors.
Although I'm quite happy with the result, I'm sure it can be further improved, but I have to admit that I haven't figured out how.
My idea is that each chest is filled perfectly equally systematically, whatever the situation.
Two conditions must be applied (if you see others, I am listening to you):
The first is that the stack inserters of the main output line are never activated at the same time as the input stack inserters (to always have the same number of items in each chest). I searched, couldn't find a viable system.
The second would be to pass the same (exact) number of items on the two conveyors which feed the entry boxes.
The last thing I would like to add is to turn the electrical system on or off when no activity is detected.
For those who are wondering why I place items on a single line of the conveyor, I have noticed that the loading is 5% faster this way. Indeed, inserters seem to prefer this.
The constant combiner at the top left is just an On/Off switch. The flow limiter present at the top right only serves to illustrate my creation and allows you to better see how my saturation detector works.
