There's multiple kinds of complexity. Mechanically, an ICE is more complex. But materially, its arguably less complex, since it doesn't rely on rare earths or lithium, and the knowledge base for const...
On the topic of losses, internal combustion is less efficient than burning the same fuel on a generator, charging a battery and discharging through an electric motor.
This is even true not only for big generators but also for series hybrids because the engine can be optimized to work in a narrow RPM range.
