This is now; often wind+solar is closer to 100%. Snapshots don't make sense. One of the reasons why Germany currently has to burn that much coal and gas, btw, is that France needs it due to the number of reactors in maintenance mode.
Generally speaking, I somewhat agree with you - wind+solar isn't going to work without mid-term storage or extensive inter-european grid connections.
