Cate, all of those things are treated the same way as your friends grill. The roof was on my house when I bought it and I would never put another on a house after this one.
Even digging into the snow banks with my tractor is a chore. I lose access to a first floor door, due to the concrete snow that piles on the elevated stoop. Bushes need to be really hardy and even those require constant attention, though the bushes should be a fair distance away from the house to prevent rotting the house anyway.
Two years ago the build up above my vent pipe released all at once and sheared off my 3in copper vent at the roof line. That is a chore that you do not want to deal with in January on a metal roof.
Not having to climb on the roof is great, but not being able to climb on the roof makes clearing build-up a no go.
A barn or outbuilding, would use it all day.
