If you drain or run dry there is no need to pull the starter rope repeatedly upon next use. Simply turn on the run switch and walk away for a few minutes and the carburetor will gravity fill. Now you're back to 1-2 pulls.

Nobody does this between stops. It takes a lot of pulls to start it with a dry carb. It's unlcear from your post what the new valve does.
I would imagine gasoline smell emanates more from any gas spills on the outside of the generator. My Hondas don't stink.
The new position allows one to turn off the fuel and leave the generator running.

Wise crack aside, I don't think it's an unreasonable question since nobody does this.

for transporting the generator between stops on a trip, it is nice to be able to run the carb dry,

So oldman and driver, you would rather remove the cover and drain the gas in the carb to where?
The back of my pickup. It is less than a quarter of a cup. It isn't hard, or a big deal and evaporates very quickly. It takes less than two minutes start to finish.
Edited to add:
By draining the carb, you are going to get more gas out of your carb bowl than running it dry. THAT is why I am a fan of draining instead of running them dry, therefore why I think it isn't a big deal.
