What are your thoughts about this set up?

Homemade, obviously
Since its a lucky bamboo, I can't leave the plant inside the water, do I need to have soil for it? Is this pot from a water bottle safe?

I've kept bamboo in my HOB filter. It grew great in there.

Do you think the redundant filtration in a 20g is wrong? I have a 40g tetra whisper filter, I was thinking on have another tetra HOB 10g filter only to plant this lucky bamboo..

Depends on what fish you have. If you have a lot or a few with bigger bioload then dont take your 40g filter away. If there's no fish or smaller fish with lower bioloads then go for it.
Personally I think it's fine in a little planter. Just keep it away from too much light or the leaves will start to brown.

Again it's fine in the planter, I dont think you need a second filter in a 20g.

Im definelty not taking another filter then, thank you. I will keep the bottle, no sharp edges and snails can go in there, they can actually go wherever they want..
