Assumption: "Given the history of abuse and a non-molestation order, I can just redact or withhold my bank statements to protect my safety."

Court Reality

Redaction is possible in some circumstances, but it isn't a given, and it isn't always the most effective form of protection, particularly where the other party already knows your address. It's worth exploring with a solicitor or McKenzie Friend what's actually available: limited redaction, restrictions on how documents are served, or other safeguards, rather than assuming full redaction or full disclosure are the only two choices.
