Is that it? Eliezer employs reflective equilibrium as an epistemological method for figuring out what your terminal values are?

As I understand it, yes.

Or at least how to balance between them. Though there might be more to it than that.

edit: more precisely (in EY's terms), to figure out how to balance the various demands of morality which, as it happens, is included in your terminal values.
