REPLY:

I agree. With green to the metal chassis and neutral not connected to
anything at all (remember this is 240 V) what is the problem?

Isolation to the outside world is provided by the toroids on input and
output. Assuming they are well insulated, isn't that enough? What would be
the safety concern?
