Also think big for the future, I asked about Europe... it is about scale. Sure if I limit it down, I can also claim: Sun never shines in my backyard.

You cannot run Germany solely on renewables. It has one of the highest carbon footprints per kWh in Europe and will continue to have twice the carbon footprint of France by 2030 IF all the expansion plans for renewables work out.
Building new nuclear plants, or just recertifying the old ones accordingly to current standards and supplying them with enough fuel would have been possible til 2030, right?
Again, Frauenhofer is a diverse large body with multiple branches, they have also studies about cost and way to Germany on fully renewables 2050, without 100% gas backup - which study are you citing please?
Page 25 (page number not PDF page) They also have some comprehensive tools for simulation - but I’m a bit too lazy to dig up all the explanation.
