The devil is in the details, and we have few. Do the math. How much energy is released in a battery fire? If you insulate it, how hot will it get inside, since you've guaranteed thermal runaway? How much energy is released as heat if you discharge the battery at maximum current allowed by your current limit strategy? What does that do to the cell temperature if you insulate it? How often are you gonna use this kayak device? Can you not throw it overboard if it catches fire? I submit that the release mechanism is far more likely to jamb than the battery is to catch fire. ;-) Given your paranoia, might a NiMH or Alkaline AA cell pack be more cost effective and weigh less and take up less space than your protection vault and fire suppression apparatus and floating burn unit to treat the injured? Maybe you should have two burn units just in case one of the doctors has a heart attack. I surmise that there are some devices sold on EBAY that are made from tested/fully compliant components and do what they say. Problem is that you can't tell which. Battery protection built into the battery won't solve your problem. It's there as a backup to your own carefully crafted redundant battery management system. I'm not saying you shouldn't have it. I'm saying that you shouldn't rely on it. The good news is that you are very much more likely to drown than to catch fire.
