i did it this whole year. First time in.. decades. Burned out from too much lowly politics, essentially, moving against my own values.
pros: you can breath freely. you can jump and sleep and risk and judge things. no calendar (like, which month is now?). etc - outside-hamster-wheel.
cons: Savings that should last whole year, well, did not. "i can always get a job" does not work, esp. right now (and i am making software for 35 years).
Will i do it again? Yes. "if it hurts, do it more often"
