"On many boats the genset is just to integral and thus the big inverter setup to me is a bit too much redundancy unless I spent a load of time in remote places and they were needed as backup for a genset."


I definitely agree with this - once you are heating or cooling anything you are in the area where a genset will be running and then you can charge/run everything else. Cooking, icemaker, reefer, A/C , heat etc are not really suited to an inverter as I learned on a past boat.
For the really remote trips I would bring along my portable genset to get by until the main unit were to be repaired.
YMMV
