I can only comment about things I have seen.
I have not played around with pure sine wave.
But seven different modified sine wave inverters reverted to square wave after battery voltage sags to a critically low level. Trace, Xantrex, and others did it. Forty years ago the instantaneous burn out of an electric blanket control taught me to be careful with asymmetrical wave form power.
Inductors heated up and caused FET transistors to draw additional amperage. Electrical motors ran hotter. Batteries discharged significantly faster.
;) your mileage may vary
