.....and falls for 3 consecutive years occur how often?

I'd be more concerned with the amount of the fall in % terms. As it's this that determines the reduction in capital value. Rather than the frequency of the event. I'd be more concerned with secular stagnation (Japanese style) going forward. As despite policymakers attempts to avoid the same trap. Appears more and more unavoidable.

Draw income from cash buffers during a crash period, and switch to dividend reinvestment for a period.

Of course nothing should be dismissed. But it does help to have investments compatible with your objectives.

The advantage of dividend/interest paying investments is that given broad diversification the income is much more stable than the capital value.

Of course!
Lots of people here are so clever that they can continue to trade at just the right time, have just the right cash buffer and chose the right stocks that grow at a consistent rate.
However, the rest of us are not blessed with such brilliance and want the drawdown part of their life to be as simple as possible. Give me a steady, growing IT dividend income and I can concentrate all my efforts on spending it.
