I've heard that Sodium batteries have huge voltage difference full vs. empty. Some sources state the discharge graph is almost linear line in capacitors. Is means, if true, sodium batteries need completely different frequency converter (inverter) design.

And LiFePO4 production seem to have ramped up so much that sodium is still pricier... although, if CATL has enough commitment to continuously produce sodium... tables can turn.
