I think it has to be more than that. Circuits like cooker,

Why? Pull to much for the gnerator and its protection trips. To avoid
such "accidents" trip the MCBs or pull the fuses for the heavy loads.
Computers are via a UPS anyway...

Essentially one would need two consumer units - backed up and not
backed up.

That would be nice but is not essential. Of course the maintained
circuits would use "chinese" 13A plugs/sockets so that normal devices
couldn't be plugged in.
