I was thinking dual battery also but add in a device that allows the 2an battery to charge while vehicle is running but cut off when ignition is off.
I can't recall the exact name of that device but I am sure someone else has a better memory then me.

More powerful alternator and the biggest X2 Power battery you can wedge in there.

4 X2 Power batteries for me now and have been very happy. They are a higher tier but not crazy high. Odyssey and then your Lithium arguably are better but much more expensive.

For your needs I don’t see much of a need for a second battery unless for some reason you are using for comms ALOT without the Jeep running.

You’re never going to be running you winch without the Jeep running so a better alternator will suit you best for that and a big X2 Power battery will have plenty of juice to run your comms.

If you were running a bunch of lights and accessories with the Jeep off then a 2nd battery might be needed.
