That's actually a great move. Ex-devs as Product Managers / Product Owners are the best.

I slightly disagree there. Currently have an ex-dev product owner. Who takes away the thinking of individual developers and is unable to provide enthusiasm to the team.

Having technical knowledge, yes. Very big plus. Not every developer has the other aspects of a Product owner or Product manager though.
