Yes, I can see the benefits of having an inverter over a noisy generator.
There are gennys that are quieter than others.
I have a noisy Onan 4000 watt that came with my C-Class which I don't use much as the C connected most of the time to shore power.
I've thought about finding lower wattage quiet genny. There are generators that are between 49 and 60 decibels - that are no louder than normal speech. To keep the batteries charged, lighting, coffee and toast, etc. I think perhaps a smaller wattage generator will suffice. Even a thousand watt genny can provide perhaps enough power if you needs aren't great.
However lower decibel generators are going to be much louder than an inverter. So an inverter is a better choice as far as noise is concerned.
Heres a silent diesel generator which could possibly become quieter if encased is some sort of box.
