If this generator is primarily for backup when an outage occurs, all
this maintenance is unnecessary. I run my generator once a month for 15
minutes. I only replaced the oil once (after 50 hours). I have never
replaced the spark plugs or done any of the other things you mentioned.
On the other hand, if this is a continuous source of power, then these
things should be done by someone who is familiar with the unit.

Big, pricey generator:

Probably cycles itself every month.

I have a gasoline generator that I also crank up now and then but
concern is making sure I get fresh gas through carburetor.

Doubt if op's unit needs all the service it's getting.
