It seems it is really necessary when one can no longer drink fluids, water and liquid nutrition. If you can get down liquid then to me a PEG is not critical as one can remain hydrated and nourished with liquids.
Later, you go back to eat soft foods and also mash up food in a baby grinder like I did. Soon enough you are going again.
