If the crash is inflationary, then yes. If deflationary, then no. Will the future be more inflationary than the market currently expects?

If your country has a central bank, I promise you the crash is going to be inflationary.

I think a more measured stance is that the crash WON'T be (significantly) deflationary.

If the crash is "naturally" deflationary, the central banks have now shown a commitment to sustaining inflationary policy to keep inflation at target.

But in the case of a "naturally" inflationary recession (stagflation), central banks will be hesitant to ramp up deflationary policy, because regaining employment levels will be a higher priority, and deflationary policy tends to hurt employment.

unless the interest rates increase... or you lose your job. Back in 2007-2008 R&D was one the 1st to be disposed of.

in case of fixed interest rates I guess so... yachts for everyone!

I was thinking more of using the debt to fortify. Maybe metals... or property.
