Dumb Bomb Revival?

I have heard a few times since Ukraine kicked off how poor our Army’s ammunition state is.
How long could the Air Force employ guided munitions in a Peer- Peer conflict?
Then what?
Should we rebuild a stock of conventional bombs for the second week onwards?
And perhaps occasionally train for this too against an imagined strong Air Defence system.
Lofting dumb bombs for example – while not a ideal answer might be more relevant than high angle strafe after we run out of guided munitions.
