YES!
This is exactly how it should work!
If you r radiators are large enough, by which I mean HUGE, then they can operate like this too.

And looking at your setup again…. Where are the radiators for your house? The ground loop?
You have a second circulator and buffer tank for your underfloor?
What temp do you run your heatpump? Ours is between 30c and 37c. I am just flummoxed by the purpose of your buffer tank and a second circulator. I thought the idea of underfloor heating and an ASHP was that you did not need mixers and additional pumps!
Anyway… I am not sure that is the question you were asking. Sorry.

A buffer tank with a heat pump. Heatgeek has a really interesting blog/video about these and what problems they can cause.
I control my ASHP via Modbus TCP. I bought a MOXA modbus tcp adapter to do this, plus some of the relays inside the MS to turn on/off circulators and valves.
The flow temp is controlled via Heating Curve block. It does a good job. The ASHP comes on when two rooms demand heat, which is most of the time. There are only a few rooms, such as our bedroom, where we actually turn of the radiator as we never want it above 18.0C.
Our ASHP essentially runs 24x7 and it is the flow temp that is modulated to control the output, rather than turning the system on/off.

Subject: Heating setup
Hi, I have a heatpump and underfloor heating in my home. It is currently setup as per the attached diagram.

Yup. Pretty exactly as you say…. leave it running 24x7 and modulate the temperature up and down by adjusting the flow temp.
I consider that turning of rooms is not because they are ‘at temp’ but actually that I want to direct the heat to the cooler parts of the house, or that I will override a controller and have a radiator continually on. For example, I have the office radiator on whenever the light is on because I like to warm my feet on it.
Even if a room is ‘at temp’, then you should be lowering the heat in to keep it at that temperature, rather than cutting the heat off.
I assume you are familiar with PI heating controllers? That is what they are trying to achieve.
