This was back in 2017 where cloud-native/ops jobs grew on trees.
A lot of people assume that what (they think) is trivial for them is trivial for others who not interview as well, have flags on their resume, etc. Furthermore, what may have been trivial in 2000, 2007, or 2019 might not be so trivial 12 months later.
Taking some time off may still make sense but it's always going to be a bit of a calculated risk.
If you have reason to believe that getting a new job is trivial, then sure. Take some time off if you can afford to.
If, on the other hand, you have no idea if you can get an equivalent professional job in one or two years and may involve moving (as is the case with MANY people in tech in spite of what people in the bubble may believe) then looking for a job immediately makes a lot of sense.
