So here's an interesting portfolio that's specifically designed to be recession-proof:

Unlike the PP or GB it's not being pitched as an all-weather allocation: it's for risk-averse retirees.
One of the things I really like about this is that it's completely "inoculated" against the A.I. exposure of the U.S. Total Stock or S & P 500 funds used in the PP and GB. Of course it's got 60% in equities vs. 25-40% for the PP and GB respectively but it's all companies that provide "must-have" products.
No cash allocation would be a serious real-world problem for someone who went all-in on this. I'd go with 15% VTIP (short term TIPs, 2.5 year duration) to make it even more defensive and add 5% in a T-bill mm account.
Seems like a pretty good bunker to me. Plus I kind of like the name.
