What you're arguing for is deflation, which has a long-standard track record of either slowly or quickly destroying entire economies.
there is deflation that comes from shrinking of the monetary base and there is deflation that arises out of productivity gains
often the "deflation" observed in bad economies is a symptom rather than the cause E.g. there were a few months of official deflation in the US following the global financial crisis, but this followed from the crash rather than caused it.
Yes, hyper-inflation is highly destructive, but deflation creates a negative cycle that is very difficult to get out of.
