The reason you go with a much higher AC transmission voltage is to achieve a much salller Transmission Conductor.Very High Voltage Low Amps. At the substation you go to lower voltage somewhat larger conductor and the same from transformer on pole to home.
Truth is you will also have significant loss in that Monster Inverter you speak of. Telsa was right back in the day and he is still right today. AC is the best means of long distance power transmission.

There will be loss in the inverter, I agree. But not as much as we are losing on line reactivity now.
And the boost in transmission voltages and reduction in line reactivity related losses will easily overcome the small loss in the inverter.

AC is the best means of long distance power transmission. If the transmission was by superconductor?
