The disaster would be that modern economy / logistics / etc. are made for current population. Any society made for X number of people, but suddenly losing 80% of it in a few generations, would collapse. If you could scale everything down, it could be feasible, but with companies focused on growth and making more money year after year, they would drop your country and focus on countries with still on-going growth (further escalating things further).
Robotics and AI research are quickly adding in the billions of dollars, and that's not even talking about implementing it in businesses, how are you supposed to find that much personal, money and resources, if you have 20% of today's population?
Didn't say the contrary, but if the economy is adapted toward 100 people, then suddenly you have 10k, the economy won't be able to follow and a crisis is inevitable. Same if go you from 10k to 100 people. Also, big companies don't care about the people, they care about their money. People, to them, are just a way to get more money.
I don't understand why it would be a disaster to go back to 1900s population levels. Especially with automation and robotics picking up the slack.

Economies should be made for the people, and not people for the economies.
