Can I join the negatives on an isolated DC/DC Orion converter?

Just wondering if there is any issues with joining the negatives of an isolated 48/12 DC/DC converter? The system is going into a vehicle with 48V house batteries. The 48V batteries will have the negative connected to the chassis, and I would like to do the same with the 12V bus, but Victron only make an isolated converter. Is there any reason not to connect the isolated negatives?

The input and output are isolated. You can make it non-isolated.
