Many inverters come with a 20-Amp (or a couple of them) receptacles, so unless you’re planning to operate close to 2,000 Watts for long periods, why not use an adaptor? A 2,000-Watt inverter is rated under 20 Amps.

If you plan to use much power, your batteries won’t last anyways. Your microwave may run for a few minutes but if longer, you might want to start generator instead. For low power loads like electronics I don’t see why it should not work.
Because the inverter would be sitting on the ground, it seemed that mounting it to a board would provide some stability and safety. And yes, no real need for the 30amp receptacle. The most I'd ever be drawing would be 1.5KW for our Nespresso and microwave (not at the same time).
