Looks good. One thing I'd add (and those with more experience can weigh in) is that having seen hundreds of connections, over time I've seen those "bolt" connections to the ground rod loosen up or become corroded every so often. Granted most don't have any problems, but when there is an issue it can be troublesome to track down, cause issues, and potentially damage things.
On my home and shop, I used these: nVent ERICO Cadweld One Shot - https://www.nvent.com/en-us/erico/products/nvent-erico-cadweld-one-shot
You can get permanent molds if you're doing a lot of them, but the disposable "one shot" is great if you're just needing a few connections.
It permanently welds the cable and ground rod together.
Thanks; I had no idea anything like that existed.
