Around here, even in areas that don't have natural gas service, we consider it a good thing when you can run your residence (including all EV charging) without any propane. Same with yachts and increasingly with RVs too. Propane is relatively expensive and has more health and safety concerns that must be addressed regularly to remain safe. Sometimes it's the simplest, least expensive solution, but it's not ideal.
It's pretty common that people are afraid to max out their electrical service up to the rated maximums, or that they don't know what the rated maximums are. Done with good equipment, properly installed, it will be safe and effective for many decades.

Good points. We will move away from propane when we build our forever home. It will be geothermal and we will most likely utilize a hybrid/electric HWH which uses a heat pump. We have an electric dryer but I'd like to utilize a heat pump dryer as well. Our forever home we would like to be net zero.
