I would trust my life on a fire (non epa model wood stove), or a kero heater with an extra wick and plenty of fuel.

I had an auxiliary method for heat (Propane heater, but vapor is an issue), and one for power (generator).
A wood stove is 'comfy' but doesn't work well in a bus; the fireboxes are so small that you have to refill them every 2-3 hours, which is almost constant. They also require a LOT of space for clearance to combustibles. If this were a cabin with more space, I would agree with you, but it's very small inside.
And since I adjusted for elevation and stopped running on low, it's been fine for a long time, been efficient to run, no problems since. The problem was learning about high altitude and running it low. Don't do that. Run her hot.
