Agreed entirely. Also Germany is experincing massive swings in wholesale cost as wind and solar resource comes and goes, with huge negative prices in summer especially. Negative prices may sound good but in reality it is causing chaos with backup generation and the economics of the grid. Also keep in mind that the carbon mass per kWh in Germany has been rising recently, because of all the dirty brown coal that is getting burnt when wind and solar generation is low (instead of nuclear). Add this with some of the most expensive consumer prices in the world and very few people would recommend following Germany's model.
