What happens when you want to wash your hands, or do a few dishes?
Cold or room temperature water with soap works against germs on you hands same well as hot water with soap.
Random few dishes at random times of the day... Maybe a reality for some people, but for many it isn't because they don't eat sporadically, and often it's one dish per person. You wash dishes after meals. Easy enough to turn the heater on when you turn the stove off. If this is too much trouble, - keep it on. This will be a waste of propane but if you make this choice, then it's your choice.
Depending on the ambient and how poorly the heater is insulated (mine is terrible), it may cycle more than a few times a day/night and run more than a few minutes at a time, if you leave it on.
