That’s higher risk than it looks for Hikaru. I legitimately defeated opponents rated 700+ points higher than me in tournament play in the 1980s. With a little planning, draws would probably be even easier.
Anyway, soon you will be able to ask a custom chess AI, “How would you draw Hikaru in classical chess if you are a lower rated player, here are all the games I’ve played in the past and Hikaru’s as well.” I’d guess 1 in 10 decent (but still 700 pt lower than Hikaru) players with that sort of training could eke out a draw. Making it a losing strategy for Hikaru.

what's happening with the world? even chess committees are power tripping and doing stupid things to please annoying loud minorities with made up issues, while doing long term damage to everyone.
