I can’t think of any meaningful pros to propane if municipal natural gas is available.

I have a 500 gal propane tank and it’s fine if it’s all you can get, but it’s not ideal.

Self reliance is the biggest, but it comes in a limited supply.

Everyone loves a nat gas generator but the reality is in times of say a hurricane the gas company may have a line break or may have supply issues to your home with many neighbors needing it. I don't think that's necessarily worth choosing one over the other, but its worth considering.

One thing to consider OP, is your options in appliance. I don't have a lot of experience with propane, but I'd assume you have to choose the right things like water heaters, dryers, stove, grill, etc. and Nat Gas may have more?

Maybe they all run fine off both Nat gas and propane?
