You are describing events that lasted for a handful of years and comparing them with a total and indefinitely-sustained global halting of economic growth.
Energy growth is physically bounded and so must stop (on a surprisingly near timescale). Economic growth can continue for a bit with efficiency improvements and other blood-from-a-stone extraction, but is ultimately bounded by energy growth so also must stop soon thereafter. For quite literally forever.
I'm not sure how to continue this discussion if you cannot understand how fundamentally unlike one-another these two situations are.
Such events aren’t singular and lifetimes are finite. WWI, the Great Depression, WWII, and the Spanish Flu hit one after another.
However if dips aren’t problematic long term why would stagnation at the peak? What’s being described isn’t a problem but an idealized state impossible to realize.
