Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Not really, because with physical wires you can create a solution.
Describe the solution you'd like
No need anymore to setup a master and slaves. Just add SmartEVSE's and thanks to some detection via mDNS? (I think your HA integration does this kind of detection). Then every EVSE knows the amount of online/ev connected chargers in the network and can load balance over those. This is especially handy when the modules are spread over multiple electrical boards far away from eachother.
Ofcourse this is not your average house situation. But when you install for businesses, these kind of situations happen.
I think Alfen's Smart Charging Network is also working like that. No master needed.
Describe alternatives you've considered
a Modbus RTU to TCP bridge, but then you will still have the "old" need to always configure a master and some slaves. And if the "master" goes down/offline/whatever, all others remain working perfectly fine.
Additional context
It's probably low priority but still (I think) a nice feature to add for the bigger installs.
