Hydrogen has an even larger infrastructure problem and grid wiring is easier to deploy than pipelines or compressed gas supply chains. I only see a big future for hydrogen in grid scale energy storage if it can be made competitive with batteries. It has the advantage of requiring less manufactured mass and costly materials to store more energy and perhaps would be better able to warehouse energy long term. You could reuse at least some of the natural gas storage and power generation infrastructure, probably with some upgrades to deal with hydrogen or a hydrogen / methane mix.
