I think almost matching gas energy costs implies dramatically lower total energy used and the benefits of being able to use renewables. Natural gas can only really win in terms of heating because producing heat is easier than producing electricity with the same gas

Quite possible.
In our case it is academic as due to quirks of our house configuration (the joys of a house pushing 200 years old) we can only get units in a couple of rooms. It's good enough to keep the house cool in the summer, and heat the house in a real emergency like last winter but not something we can rely on for primary heat.
