My Serrano peppers have grown a bit unruly up and into my tomatoes on the left end. Is topping them a good idea so they’re not competing too much for sunlight? (Hard to see in image, second bucket, bottom row left side). I realize my arrangement isn’t ideal as it’s been hodge podge this season as fits for the moment and not next weeks idea. Sidenote, pic 3 is this weekends project going into a bigger 24” pot on the 24×24 blocks, for pretty flowers and pollinators 😅

Nope, do not top them.
Your tomatoes and peppers are getting plenty of sunlight from the looks of it. And when it comes to tomatoes, unless those are determinate, they’re going to grow MUCH more than your Serrano will. The Serrano plant is pretty much at its mature size. That tomato is still a baby, determinate or indeterminate lol.
The tomato is also providing a lot of support for your Serrano branches as well. 🙂
