Got news back from my installer:
____________________________________________________________________________
Hello Andrew!
Here is some information we got back from Tesla regarding the Powerwall and Powershare Gateway.
“We apologize for the delay. Thank you for sending your Powershare design question in for review.
It is possible to install Powerwall units downstream of a Powershare Gateway, however this is not a recommended solution as it requires contact Tesla for assistance with the commissioning due to multiple “Site-Controllers” being on the property.
If the customer is planning to get a Powerwall unit at the same time as getting a Powershare System installed, then we would recommend that the system would be installing either the Backup Gateway 2, Gateway 3, or Backup Switch as the relay device for the Powerwall units rather than installing the Powershare Gateway (Gateway 3V).
If the customer is planning on getting a Powerwall system in the future but wants to get Powershare System installed immediately, then we would recommend installing the Universal Wall Connector with the Powershare Gateway. In the future, additional Powerwall 3 units can be installed into the backup circuit and with Tesla assistance the system can be commissioned properly.”

So more confusion. On the PowerShare learn more, it says...
"Even after Powershare Gateway is installed, adding Powerwall upgrades you to an instant, seamless backup solution that can maximize the value of your system and ensure your home is prepared for severe weather events. Solar Roof and solar panels add the ability to generate your own electricity and further increase your independence from the grid and utility costs."
Dunno. I read that powerwall 3 instalation with BG2 requires BG2 controller to be disabled. Wouldn't that be similar to an install with 3V. G3 is new also... dumbed down version of gateway 2.
