With a lot of energy efficiency, heat/cold storage, electricity storage and demand-response you can go a long way while limiting the extra "capacity to account for times when they aren't producing at 100%"... . But of course, having different (renewable) source of energy on the grid always make sense and often make it easier

Sure, but you still have to account for the cost of that storage and demand response. And when you're talking about days worth of energy storage things get very expensive.
