Developers trying a management role and then returning to development is relatively common. You shouldn't worry if you wish to try it out for a year or two.

Yes, when hiring developers I see that as a positive: often people with this kind of background can tackle larger projects well due to good self-organization.

As a bonus, they tend to have more empathy for what i have to deal with, so when they ask for support or process changes their ideas tend to be practical and reasonable.
