That should be fine. Again I'm not an expert on the species in particular, but that should be fine. Obviously bigger would be better.

I awoke to find he had eaten 5 of the 8 superworms I put in there ☺

It's a start, but knowing monitors, they will eat a ton more than that. Keep offering more food. (Possibly put a feeding dish up higher because of them climbing)
Check this link out.

Peackock Monitor Help
I really wanted one of these guys for a while but never got one. One thing that was stressed in all care articles and information is hiding places. They need a lot of vines. They have to be able to cross one side of the enclosure to the other without being seen or touching the ground. Try get ting more vines and covering the middle of the perch. They should also have a perch that goes from one side to the other, I recommend two or three of those fake wire vines that are about an inch thick.
They spend almost every second of their time in trees so try to imitate a tree top as much as possible. I would find a way to put the food dish up high also so that it doesn't have to leave the top. Make sure you don't handle too much as timors are skittish and stress a lot from handling.
Good luck!

This is only a temporary enclosure as I am building a 3'x2'x5' high with a foam rock background and branches all over with palm trees
