Electric heat is THE most inefficient process there is. Many induction burners are upwards of 1800 Watts and in some cases 3000+. You would need a solid generator setup to feed even one burner and anything else.
If you will always have shore power, it might not be a big deal. However, running your generator at all times could be a major drag.
I prefer propane for cooking, but do have an electric coffee pot for larger quantity and a deep fryer for the same reason. Last time out, I even used an outdoor propane stove. That was nice as I wasn't pumping more heat into the coach interior.
