Heating my house with a giant diesel-powered radiant heater from across the street is infinitely efficient, too, since I use no power in my house.
At 90°C you can do sous vide, so basically use that waste heat entirely.
For such temperatures you'd need a CO2 heat pump, which is still expensive. I don't know about gas, as I don't even have a line to my place.
Point being, you can throttle your equipment to the desired temperature and use that energy effectively.
