I have a 3000 watt inverter I will install pretty soon but will not be operating it at peak, just running a shop vac and maybe a grinder simultaneous. So will I need a higher idle setting?

My honest opinion is that Jody's 1100 or 1200 will be more than sufficient for your application.
See my install a few posts below. It's a 3000w. I love it and my high idle works well with it. I use the inverter even more than I orginally thought I would. I keep a portable pancake compressor in the bed too and now that I keep both of those items with me, you'd be amazed how often the air is used........

As far as the "cadillac" of options in the PTO for providing means of converting 110v power..............
I don't believe the PTO option is in the same league as an inverter,..........or even really a generator for that matter due to cost.
We're talking about thousands to get rolling w/ PTO setup and a few hundred bucks for generator, or inverter.
While some are giving a thumbs down for the inverter route vs the generator route, I suspect that a generator isn't too much more of a hassel for many of the applications they're referring to. Futhermore, it's very crutial that and inverter setup be installed correctly and with plenty of battery power.

And the old fashion......different approach for various applications. For instance: I'd vote for a 3000w generator over a 3000w inverter to power my house during an outage.
For me,.....it's more about having the inverter there with me wherever I am throughout the country for those times that I never plan for.
Maybe on the beach in North Carolina, camping in the hills of Tenn, in the walmart parking lot and someone needs help airing up a tire, etc etc.
While I guess I could strap a generator in the bed of my truck permanently, I just really like the compact portability and quite-ness of the inverter.
best of luck.
