You generally don't plug a solar panel straight into a battery to charge it for many reasons, one of which is that the voltage output by the solar panel varies a lot based on different conditions. You typically plug the solar panel into a charge controller that outputs a particular voltage to the your battery based on the cell chemistry and arrangement you're using.
So generally for a 12v system you would use a solar panel that outputs between 18-25v, and attach it to a charge controller that would then outputs a mostly steady 13-15v to your battery.
So make sure your solar charge controller is correct for your battery type, and see what panel input it supports (usually given as a range of voltages and a maximum amperage).
And as for being "well regarded in YouTube videos", that is usually the result of a focused marketing campaign. Even well intentioned YouTubers are rarely experts in their fields. Unless they have exhaustive comparative tests across a product range, they typically just look at the products from companies that have reached out to them directly, or that they've heard of because those companies are already marketing heavily elsewhere.
Seems like a really good deal. This brand is well regarded in the YouTube videos I've watched researching solar....this is 12v as opposed to 24v (the 100W Harbor Freight model that's $129) - I'm still unclear if that impacts the compatibility with what batteries you use? Can a 24v solar panel be used with 12v batteries?
I have these exact ones they put out 25v and about 6A each with full sun according to the charge controller and charge my 12v battery great.

You would need an MPPT charge controller or else you would lose 1/2 your power.

I have like Bluetti and Ecoflow battery pack/generator. They have like MPTT built in, for Ecoflow Delta like it can't accept more than 60V, I forgot fully but like when connect it in series the V doubles up, so 2 x 12 V panels become 24 V when in series. If you exceed 60 V in Ecoflow there is chance of blowing up the mptt/frying the battery and making it non operational from what I have heard.

Depends on the model of delta. I think the original could handle 65v 10a, the mini I picked up says 11-75v 10a and the Max says 11-100v 10a

I'm certainly don't know a lot about solar but wouldn't it be better to hook them up in parallel so if you lost one, you wouldn't lose everything? Obviously from a wiring standpoint it would be easier to just wire them up in series but don't see any other advantages.
My question is can I buy 2 of these solar panels and run in series with my 110 W eco flow solar panel to get 300w input to charge my Delta power station?
