Of course you do the back up! You don't have to turn it into a hotel bar or make it impractical, but some nice side panels that can be easily removed with foam insulation behind them will quieten it down heaps. My wife hated the drumming and didn't like taking the van anywhere, but since I've done the interior it's almost as quiet as a car and the van is now 1st choice for most trips.
Build it the way YOU want it (like the engine bay), as you are the one that has to live with it every day.
You're doing a great job, keep it up.
