You are on the petri dish path did you read the info sheet on RI? Low ventilation and high humidity do actually contribute to RI be careful blocking up air flow and increasing humidity (and recirculating water builds even more bacteria I would recommend daily cleaning and disinfecting of the water fall.)
Have fun cleaning out that waterfall when she takes a giant poo in it. There is a good reason why you don't see many waterfalls in a BP enclosure. It really doesn't increase the humidity THAT much. It mostly just becomes something that gets dirty quickly and can become a breeding ground for bacteria.
It may look pretty, but in my opinion it is not worth all the hassle. Your snake is healthy. Just increase your humidity with misting when the snake is in shed and you will be fine.

Maybe I just don't mind work.
I have a waterfall in my GTP cage. Depending how i set the rocks up to have the water cascade off them I can get 95% humidity. How i have it set up it gives just over 50% constant. It really is not that hard to clean and keep up with. It also gives a relaxing water sound.
Mine was a waterfall kit not a molded one. If you don't mind keeping it clean I'm sure you will like it. I really doubt your BP will go to the bathroom in it if it is the molded type because it probably will not be able to lay in it. I bet it chooses it's water bowl first.
I must just be lucky cause my BP never goes in it's water. You will notice in my GTP cage a bridge across the water bowl, I added it because one of my GTP favorite spots to relieve it's self was just above the pool. So now the bridge catches it which makes spot cleaning a snap.
I do use purified water in mine. I buy it by the gallon at the grocery store.
