5. There are certainly several fixed-income investments that are better than I-bonds, so I can't disagree with selling

I-bonds.

I don't have much in Treasuries and nothing in Treasury-related bond funds, though some of my bond funds do have some govt. stuff in it.

I mostly track the 10 year Treasury as an easily accessible and widely followed benchmark for intermediate term bonds. And because some things like mortgage rates closely follow the 10 year Treasury yield.

I do have some I-bonds but not enough to worry about compared to other areas that need more attention.
