But as it stands. Germany is on brink of recession. Ireland’s economy could crash also if No deal becomes the only way forward. The EU cannot afford to take such a financial hit.

Remember that the EU has been thinking no deal is more likely for a while now. It's going to be bad for them but I think it might be priced into their decision making at this point. If our only plan is 'we really will do no deal you know?' then I don't think it's going to work.
I think the ERG et all know this which is why they're so keen on the tactic. It's no deal.
At this point I am thinking we might as well. Let them have the pure Brexit they wanted and own it if there are consequences. If it does turn out fine then they were right and it worked, if it does go wrong then they can't pretend 'it wasn't Brexit though' and it's on them.
