I have 5 yr. experience in music teaching. I'm sure you will get 99% satisfaction in my teaching.
Yes, tabs and strumming go hand in hand as one needs to practice both in tandem so that one can learn how to understand proper metronome adherence and also note dynamic at the same time. However, it boils down to determining the right technique and applying the appropriate skill to the same. One needs to have a good teacher if you are in the initial stages of the guitar. Things like posture, Handgrip ( how tight / how relaxed) position of guitar etc. all go hand in hand.

First, you have to understand that guitar tabs aren't any musical thing; it is just a format to write and read musical notes. And here I am assuming that you're talking about learning melodies and chords with strummings together. So the answer is absolute. Yes, you can, and you must. These two aspects of music should be Pursue together only. Otherwise, it will get much more time for you to get a grip on melodies first and then go for chords and strummings. So keep practising both together, but do it step by step.
