You assume to much to say that Ibonds are "Inflation-adjusted". They are cpi adjusted. Not the same.

The cpi lags inflation considerably. Buying them at a time of rising inflation , when the fed is aggressively trying to pre-emptively stop inflation would be second best compared to the investments which have historically shined during inflation. Better than cash, yes.

Inflation leads the t-bills which leads the cpi - a cpi struggling up the BLS hill of statistics.
