It isn’t a terrible recommendation if you have good form and are comfortable with the lift. Deadlift hits pretty much the whole back when it’s done right, but it can also be done wrong in quite a lot of ways.
Even with deadlift, I would probably still add isolation lifts targeting the areas you want to see improvement on.

The form required for deadlifts basically requires you to stand up straight. It’s actually helped me personally to get a better standing form.
Definitely have someone explain and help you with your form though. It can be hard to tell for an inexperienced person if their form is good, and bad form is risky when deadlifting.
The weight doesn’t even have to be that high, it’s all about learning the proper form, which helps you realize a better posture.
