Grid forming inverters provide 1/3 to 1/4 the fault current of a similarly sized generator.
The other trivial solution are synchronous condensers. Or just let the generators and maybe even turbines of future emergency reserve thermal plants spin with the grid without consuming any fuel.
Just ensure the proper margins exist in the grid and call in ancillary services as needed.

No need to make it harder than it needs to be.
