“Ask for a 6 month leave of absence (quit if they won’t give it)”

IMO this is good advice, given that OP has 2 years of living expenses covered.

I tendered my resignation from a steady job on 2020-03-05 – without having signed on for a new one. It worked out. But having a decent pile of FU money does definitely not hurt. (Living in a place with decent CoL helps a lot, too.)
