Simple answers to your questions = Yes and no.

I bought the dual fuel version of this a couple of years ago for my daughter. She used it last week for 36 hours to primarily run her refrigerator and freezer when storm damage caused an electrical shortage. Operated without hiccup only stopping to refill with gas.

I have two generators. One is a large portable that connects to the house and the other a small portable inverter. Both run our appliances with no problems. It is true that inverters have a cleaner output and are quieter. But they are priced at a premium and hence only make economic sense if you truly need those attributes. On our non-inverter generator, we have operated refrigerators, TVs, well pump, computers, window air conditioners, fans, and many other things. I may be tempting fate here but we have never had a single instance where the non-inverted electricity killed or even damaged anything. As others will point out, you're unlikely to find an inverter version at this price. Expect to spend $150 more.
You aren't getting an inverter generator for "less money". But they definitely are worth the extra money in most situations.

For better efficiency, cleaner electricity for electronics, and less noisy, get an inverter generator instead.

A good add-on to upgrade your Tesla. I don't think you can charge while driving though.

By the way, my daughter's refrigerator is a new fancy model. Less than a year old and cost about $2500. The generator had no harmful effect on it.

Sure, but Honda is $3k+. A much less expensive alternative would be this:

I have one, and it's great; but you should probably invest in a closed frame one instead if you're going to be running it with neighbors nearby (open frame ones generally sound like a lawnmower)

I lost power for a few days and had to get a generator for full price and was limited to what nearby stores had. I ended up with this: https://www.samsclub.com/p/4375w-..._product_2

I would recommend a model that runs off propane for use as a backup generator. During storms gas stations can lose power. Gas can also gum up the carbonator so you have to remember to empty it out and/or use fuel stabilizer in it. Propane stores easier than gasoline. I now have a couple tanks on hand ready to go if I ever lose power without needing to go to a gas station first.
