Not really. Most real world studies take this into account.

It's still way cheaper than nuclear.

no, they do not. The vast majority of studies that estimate the LCOE for renewable generators consider only the spot price of electricity and OPEX costs. The cost of reliability is absolutely not factored into this energy cost.
