Eli5: how will a power grid that is mostly powered by many non synchronous renewable generators (solar and wind etc) remain stable, when the stability of the grid is currently reliant on the collective inertia of the large scale base load generators of fossil fuel and nuclear power plants?

It simply won’t, if you consider nuclear not in the allowed energy sources. You will always need a source that doesn’t change on some uncontrollable factor like a cloud covering the sun or the wind not blowing. As of today it’s nuclear by fission, some day we probably will be able to use fusion.
