There's an extremely good reason "rural" applications are reliant on diesels. It's not uncommon for a diesel engine to hit 300k+ miles and still operate reliably. And not to mention simply. They are relatively easier to maintain than a standard gasoline engine.
Diesels also greatly benefit from being on a fixed power band. It's why they work so dang well on large ships.
Where as rotary engines(rx-7's at least) need a rebuild every 80-100k miles. So I think without really knowing what you're doing mechanically or having access to a mechanic that can repair those kinds of engines you aren't going to be super reliable with a rotary.
Green hydrogen approaches via rotary engines does seem quite interesting. I think if the reliability of the rotary could be improved that could have some serious merit. Or at least making small enough generators that you can easily ship them out to be replaced/repaired could have serious merit.
