Your projections seem pretty good. Renewable energy is likely to continue to get cheaper, opening up power to gas possibilities (e.g. green hydrogen).
Something I think is missing in these hydrogen discussions on energy storage is LiFePO4 cells. They give very good round trip efficiency, are simple to operate and have been plummeting in price.

If prices continue to decline at the current trend, I’d expect to see large scale batteries used to store energy for use over multiple days. For small towns, this could be a relatively maintenance free and economical option to only draw from the grid on the days of the week when you have surplus wind or solar.
