Another issue is when the interest payments are made. Looking at the bonds >4% yield to worst (meaning the government calls the bond) still gives interest payments scattered across different months of the year.

Municipal Bond Interest Tax-Free
One unobvious issue. Money in IRA is only subject to income tax when you take a distribution (except from a Roth IRA). So there is only an advantage in a non-IRA account, which still makes sense even though account is a lot smaller than my IRA. It just does not have the magnitude of tax reduction. It still reduces my marginal income tax rate.
