Thank you both!

Awhile back, someone posted really impressive pics of a major electrical install. It showed multiple service panels with hundreds of meticulously routed yellow Romex runs against a solid black backboard. A literal work of art. Tried searching for it to no avail. Anyone remember that and perhaps...

Thank you very much for all the information and quick replies!

Ok, got it. One last question (I hope)... so based on the above, do I even need to run 4 conductors to the outdoor inlet plug, or can I just run 3 #10 THWN (Red, Blk, and White)?

Ok, thanks. Once I do this un-bonding on the generator, do I still need to physically ground the generator frame outside to a ground rod, or does it rely on the ground connection supplied from where I have both the green and bare copper ground wire tied to my common ground/neutral buss in my...

No, the 30 amp output has a regular 30 amp breaker. The two duplex 120 volt receptacles are GFCI type, but I probably won't be using those at all with my planned connectivity.

Also, the generator itself has a copper ground lug on it attached to the frame. Do I need to do anything with that, or is that only for when you use it with extension cords as feeds? And, can I run 4 THWN conductors in a 1/2" PVC conduit, or do I need to go 3/4"?

I'm installing an outdoor 30 amp power inlet box so I can connect my generator to my existing breaker panel. And yes, I'm using an interlock device at the panel for safety. The outdoor power inlet box/plug has 4 terminals, L1, L2, Neutral, and Ground. I'm planning on running 10-3 with ground...

You might want to reconsider having two different circuits share the same neutral. Could present a serious safety hazard when working on the wiring. Unless you always shut both breakers off, you could get a deadly poke off the neutral (if one of the circuits is live and under load).
