Hydrogen would also help with re-using all the ICE cars we have (and will continue to have) on the roads.

Definitely not a panacaea, and super-inefficient, but that's OK if we're just using it for storage/transportation.

as in it's only worth doing if you have nothing else to do with the energy (like when you have too much wind/sun etc)

That's just the concept of energy storage. And even if we lose a significant fraction it's often not an issue given how cheap solar is.

Sure, but it would be better if we had more efficient methods of doing it.
