If you have already decided, then best not to discuss this. Just do it. New Inputs might add to the confusion.

My 2 cents,

If you are still contemplating, think about how you might feel, say after a week or a month. Because the state of mind then would be different. The relief of leaving a job one does not like is temporary and then the anxiety of future takes over, generally. Now with the current situation, it can add to the stress. Side projects enthusiasm is good but again anxiety about future can bring it down.

If it is possible to push taking the decision, talking to your manager, having clear work timings / notifications might help. Also since you have decided to move on anyway, maybe it is an opportunity to be assertive in asking for some changes you might want.

Look for what else you would want to do, take a look at other openings, talk to friends all these can add some objectivity to the decision and their consequence.

While the immediate pain has to be addressed, looking for a long term solution helps one make better decisions.

Good luck and stay safe.
