> Stocks generally perform better than cash in inflationary environments
I would challenge you to prove this statement with data. The S&P got crushed in both the 40s and the 70s. I mean setting the bar at returning better than -4% is absurdly low and major spans in both of those periods would have failed.
Especially when you weigh the opportunity cost of other better inflation hedge trades you could make if you were compensated in cash, I don't think this is particularly wise advice.
Especially in a recession that probably comes with a growth to value rotation, tech stocks are about the last place you want to be. (not counting FAANGetc here)
