Using hydrogen as intermediate storage is interesting because it is a pattern that can be reused in many places. For example, I know of semi-experimental Chinese nuclear reactor that is used for making hydrogen rather than electricity. That could give you easily dispatchable nuclear power, which is much better, carbon-wise, than gas peakers would be. I don't know anything aboutthe efficiency and economics of such setup though. There's however a possible political trap to fall into - most of hydrogen humanity uses cones from oil processing. So going there has not obly geopolitical ramifications, but we might also end upin a place where we're greenwashing oil to "clean hydrogen".
