Yeah basically.Thanos was just playing with them to get the gem. If they cut his arm off or get the gauntlet off of him, He'd kill them all and then Endgame doesn't happen. At least that's what I got from Strange's plan and him saying there's only 1 way to beat him.
Stuff like cut his arm off was brought up. The consensus is in the 15 million + ways this goes down if ppl took more violent and permanent measures Thanos would've killed more ppl (who couldn't be brought back) and would've been way more direct. Which is why Strange didn't even use the time stone. No time loop or anything like that would've led to them actually winning.
