It did workout for him financially (for his own share). It just didn’t workout for him emotionally. Commenter seemed more scared of market exploding and black swan events than the emotional side.
He posted a follow-up blog post years later. Sadly, it didn't work out for him. He had to return to work.
I agree with your general sentiment: Some of these extreme early retirement stories are really pushing the limits reasonable amounts of money to retire with. I don't think it's reasonable for people in their 30s or even 20s to look at their finances and assume their spending will stay constant for the next 6 decades of their lives.
