The only question you should be asking is, when do you put all your cash in there.

If you could buy at par, yes, but they're exchange traded so their price will fall as inflation rises along with other treasuries

Buying bonds direct versus a collective like an ETF are very different.  You can decide when to buy and sell an individual bond and realise a gain or loss.  You can't in a collective - if others sell the ETF then bonds have to be sold, eg. before redemption.  Similar for buys.   The way to play bonds, if they had a yield as in the past, is to buy ladders and hold to maturity.  Of course it's all worked until maybe now as a bond bull floats all boats.
