Soft start does some magic with a control board and varying when everything comes on. It can reduce the inrush current by half which is generally enough to get you going on a portable generator. They are popular in like RV/boating community and I think certain commercial uses.
My HVAC installer had no idea what it was but I had the instructions printed out for him and they are aware of what all the connections are. Just need to mount it and connect with the proper crimps and plugs. He was skeptical but only charged me a trip charge and I have my 3 ton unit running on a 7000W running 30A generator w/ 30A inlet+interlock.
50 amp is better for sure. But I do run a 5ton with a soft start kit on a 7000/9000 genny on a 30amp plug
How does the 30amp keep up with auxiliary heat strips, should you need them?
The 1 on the bottom (X) axis refers to 1X the rated current. So for a 30A breaker this would be 30A. You can see from the time in seconds on the vertical (Y) axis that 1 x 30A will potentially take forever to trip. At 2X the rated current a QO breaker will trip between 8 and 30 seconds. This is enough time to allow the inrush or peak power through and not trip the breaker. The max running output of this generator is 8000W/240V = 33.3A.
So in the end a 50A output might give you slightly more power, but practically it won't matter. And a 50A power cord is more expensive and heavier, so I say it wouldn't be worth it.
As far as an RV goes, most people who have a 50A RV will have a 50 to 30A adapter because many RV parks don't have 50A outlets at every site.

This generator is using all the fuel source that is being ban right now by the government. Is my statement true?
I would clarify to state that it likely wouldn't run your AC on 30 amps. If you have a smaller system and install a soft start it would.
I have a 6500 /8125 watt generac and have no issues running my gas furnace and mini split plus other appliances off the 30a on the generator

I can run my 5 ton unit on my champion 7000/9000 with a soft start kit over a 30A generator breaker.....
