As someone who lives on grid, but barely... in that I lose power many times per year and have had week+ outage's.
I believe you are mostly right with the addition of
* shift power consumption to summer months.
* wood heat in the winter and electric air conditioning in the summer.
* electric-expensive hobbies in the summer (e.g. welding)
* with low winter consumption, multi day battery operation becomes feasible
* small dual fuel generator and a propane tank to recharge the battery bank in emergencies and extended outages with little solar production
