These are good points, but I think you may be falling into the Nirvana Fallacy. These problems will still exist for any power source (planned outages and following demand). Nuclear is no worse than wind power at these things, so why does it matter that it doesn't perfectly solve these issues as well? When there's a planned outage, you can schedule other sources to scale up as needed. Following demand is hard no matter where the power comes from, but for wind it's even harder as you can control neither supply nor demand. There's no ultimate, perfect solution. But I see Nuclear as a good option to be the major strength of our power systems.
