Agree with this as we have had very large trees removed. Also what lives down there in the roots is not real positive. Grubs and such. Remove as much as possible and discard.

So where they were removed in lawn, the ground looks level. I don't understand why you'd have the stump ground but it still be 3-4 inches above ground. You'd still have a stump.
The grinders have always taken all the wood chips away.

I have been putting fresh woodchips around mature shrubs and perennials for years and never had problems. I don't use them around new plantings or in my vegetable beds.
Do you have a part of your yard that you just want to keep mulched so weeds won't grow but is not part of a nice garden bed? Maybe in the back corner? I know people who have done that.

PP from above. We used Chapingo. They are professionals but their cost has gone up dramatically in the past year. When we got a recent quote for other work it was the most expensive of 5 quotes.
