On propane, I can run a normal refrigerator/freezer and a 5k BTU window unit. With various other electronics. Normally get around 12h on a 20lb tank.

For household backup though, I'd probably go with a 240v inverting generator so that all circuits can be powered by wiring into the breaker panel. Inverting is quieter and more fuel efficient.
Natural gas is nice too since there's no messing with gas cans or propane bottles. When our power was out, the wait at the 2 gas stations that were open was a couple hours. Natural gas would allow one to skip those lines.

Except one youtuber that said just put NG into the propane port.
That seems a bit sketchy to me.
Any comments/advice?

The first time starting took couple more pull than I liked but it started without problem. I think the key here is to make sure you gently pull 3 to 5 times with choke to purge the line of air and fill it with propane. Once that is done, turn the dial to "propane" and give it a couple of good pulls. Mine started on the 3rd or 4th pull but worked fine after that. I have re-tried disconnecting the propane line and re-set everything and it started at the 1st or 2nd pull on the next try. No problem once I got the hang of it.
Compared to the A-iPower from Costco (which has an official Yamaha engine), this is slightly quieter. As the wife says, "quiet generator is an oxymoron" so your perception is YMMV. That said, I don't think Champion is lying about the noise level at 53 decibel (probably measured at the industry "standard" of 23 feet way). It is day-n-night difference when compared to my neighbors 8kw open-frame monster. That one will attract all the zombies to the neighborhood.
Obviously can't give any long term review. However, I am more than happy with the purchase so far. Couple link to 3rd party reviews below:
