Not OP, but I did this and it really depends on what you want. I had some success, then got obsessed with AI. After 1-2 years studying nonstop figuring out what to build I ran out of money and had to consult. I would have made more money working full time... but perhaps not if my next project goes well. That said, even with what I know now, I'm about to do it all again. The freedom is priceless. Risk is scary. But going 9-5 to a job hoping for raises, good bosses, and stock liquidation events is even scarier IMO.
