As someone who teaches, kids need a variety of learning styles to do well. There's a time and place to sit down and do a worksheet or rote work, such as when practicing your times tables. Equally, there's a time and place to do exploration with real world projects.
Teaching is about knowing when and what will be most effective. It's also about demonstrating how to act like decent person, and providing a space for them to learn how to work with others.
Most teachers do spend their time fighting the abhorrent curriculums we have to work within, so dumping that and doing something like this has benefit, but going all in on constructivist methods will leave kids with large gaps if you're not careful.
