Sometimes small systems are plenty

Me, I'd rather have fewer types of systems, and more devices that run on as many of the systems as possible. The idea of 4 systems and too many devices that only run on 1 or 2 just bugs me. But the economics and availability of AC only devices (gensets, microwaves, air conditioning, some fridges, some water heaters) means it is hard to make a case not to optimize around them.

X2, but then my idea of KISS is other people's complicated BUT I've also heard some say "that's all you have to do?" at least once per trip when others SEE what I actually do which is not much. LOL! For example, being able to sit in a chair on the beach without having to "worry" about what SOC my batteries are at or I forgot to fill the gas cans or whether I remembered to bring the chain and lock for the genny or having a long pre-camp preparation list. So, I'll do some complicated stuff to make that camping trip simple. The DW and I pack minimal clothes, put food in the fridge (a good bit of that comes from our home fridge), start up the MH and go. Arrive at camp, put down the jacks, put out the slide, turn on the inverter. Simple.
