I think there will always be a trade-off where charge/discharge rates need to be comparable to the durations of peaks and troughs in supply/demand or else capacity must be over-provisioned. If peaks/troughs last N hours and you have K times the minimum capacity needed, then each cell needs to charge/discharge in N/K hours.

And faster discharge lets you capture more of any spike (but that’s less valuable methinks). Kinda like being able to charge your Tesla with a bigger circuit at home so you don’t have to charge as much during peak hours.
