Since you did not give your age I assume you are in your 30's. While we also do not know the value of your stash, given your admission that you're not at FI level yet, I'd have to say that you're plan sounds very risky. So much can change over time. This plan of checking out for 10 years may actually result in you working full time much longer some time down the road to achieve true FI. Sounds to me that you're trying to short cut it. Just offering an honest opinion here. I remember when I was in my mid 30's, I also projected out that I could have stopped saving at that time and still reach my number for FI. Doing the math now shows that I would have fallen woefully short and I would need to continue to work well into my 60's (When I was doing my FV calc's I did not foresee the dot com bubble burst and the 2000-02 and 2008-09 recession). Instead I sucked it up to find meaningful roles in my career and kept saving. Result...I reached FI years earlier than my goal. I now continue to work because I love my job and the stash has nearly doubled since reaching FI. Before you get caught up in all of the high fives your getting on this board, I'd rethink things before you drop out of your career. I agree that you have unlimited flexibility in your plan as long as you define flexibility as willing to go back to work full time and attempt to restart your career after a lapse. This is not always as easy as is sounds.
