I think this is really great advice. This mindset was critical for me to finally start finishing up my side projects. For me, working by myself, 'Choose the tech I know best' is more applicable (although that generally happens to be the boring tech anyway.) But 'stick to the boring tech' is probably much better if you need to eventually start hiring employees. In my experience, technology stacks change drastically as a company gets bigger.

That said, as always, YMMV. Using cutting edge technology certainly has its place. There's just a learning and maintenance curve to account for that can often get in the way of releasing and running your MVP. But if you've taken that into account, it could be fine for your startup.
