First off, you need to run them through relays that energise them with the key on, or they would read(draw power) all the time.
Also, you need to connect each battery both + and - to each meter. As you described, you would read 12v(front battery) and 24 volts(both batteries) if you ground...
Personally, I do not see the need to make such a modification.
I watch my gauge, and if it is not where it should be I simply take out the DMM (that I keep behind the seat with spare GPs) and test the battery voltages.
I trust the alternator lights.
