This is bad advice, because it’s ambiguous.

> You should be able to add 2.5kg to your major lifts every week

When you couple progression with a time frame but fail to address the time frame of the workouts it is more dangerous than helpful.

This would be bad advice for anyone who only trains once a week or twice a month.

> if you're recovering well

I’ve been strength training for 20 years and even I’m unsure what this means. Do I recover “well”?

When it comes to education avoiding ambiguity is essential.
