> having a gap on their résumé is scary

I always hear this, but nobody has ever questioned me when I said I took a few months just because I could and wanted some time off.

As a candidate just another question to worry about, even if it doesn't actually come up, and at best the result of it coming up is neutral, not positive for you. The more you need the job, the more stressful that sort of thing is.
