Just tested this, New world, started with /gamerule dolimitedcrafting true then removed the wooden,stone,iron,and diamond tool recipes with /recipe take @a minecraft:Iron_hoe then had a player with iron and sticks go into the crafting table and using the search bar was able to type in Iron and then make any of the iron tools still.
