Well Im in two minds for this. On the one hand its not that rare and spectacular, on the other hand the view is still nice and the system is located in the blank region of the map.

How rare are elw that are in the BH system but orbit other star and not the black hole itself?
Found a system with an ELM orbiting a terraformable HMCW. How rare are these, and should it be reported?

On 2019. May 30, out of 161,498 ELWs, only 316 had a black hole as the system's main star, and 207 of those were around other primary stars. See here. So black holes are one of the most rare such arrangements, but when it comes to black holes, it's the majority.
Continuing on the same data: ELMs are rare, only 2,287 out of the 161,498 total, but 1,579 of those orbit a HMC parent. However, as for the terraformability of the parent, I don't have the data anymore, but IIRC it's rare. Personally, I like to check such configurations, so thanks for sharing the system!
As for whether it should be reported or not: sure, I'd say go for it. I'm not a member of the GMP, so I'm not speaking for them, but much more common finds have been added to it already.

Thanks for the update!

I took this opportunity to add parent landable/terraformable states to the full ELW list on EDastro. It looks like we have about 441 that orbit terraformable worlds, nearly all of which are HMCs with just a couple of WWs thrown in. So that makes it fairly rare, but those terraformable WWs as the parent body are exceptionally rare.

NGC 3199
"Located within the nebula is the Wolf-Rayet star HD 89358, and this is most likely the source of the radiation that ionizes the surrounding gasses of the nebula. A star forming region rich in T-Tauri Class stars is found in the darker, and thus more dense, regions of the nebula."
HD 89358 is a completely different star, which is called CD-57 312 in the game and located 8 000 ly away from the nebula. NGC 3199 has no WR, WD, NS and even O, B, A stars inside. So it seems this section is just wrong or ended up there accidentally from another entry.
Addition:
The sector around the nebula also has a lot of crystals of all types: metallic, ice, silicate - and large population of Bullet Molluscs. Despite their small size and relative harmlessness, some species actually try to banish alien objects from their habitat by following them and emitting EMP, which interferes ship's systems and causes slight damage, so visitors should be careful studying these molluscs.

Smojo LM-W f1-1 (Sapphire Dancers)
Absolutely ordinary system, stars are not even in close proximity. I cant imagine how this got a POI status in the first place.

| Description: | Inside this unusually lively triple black hole system is all known forms of life. This system has a water world (BC 1 a), ammonia world (A 4 g), 2 water giants (A 3, BC 2), and, most impressively, a ringed Earth-like world (BC 8 d). Found using data from edastro.com |

Take a look at the maps (posted here): the whole region is like that. Plus the neighbouring Dryman's Point region too.
