Taking time off and potential career harm

7 yoe and senior title here.

My current workplace is so understanding and honestly a great work environment. That being said, I am BURNT OUT. I am having great trouble focusing on any task and finding motivation to progress in my career. It got so bad that I was hoping I'd get laid off so I could take a few months of severance and "right" myself. I'm considering quiting and not working for a year.

Has anyone taken an extended work break? I have a healthy amount of savings / financially I would be fine if I didn't work. I am concerned with the optics. Would it be considerably harder to find a new job after a year long break? Any insight here is appreciated. I feel like I'm drowning
