Yes it's good enough to quit your job. But to quit the rat race for good? Probably not. Your consulting firm indicates you have to work. What if you get seriously sick, that suggests your consulting income will go to $0. FU money means you never have to work again for a lifetime. Let's assuming your consulting firm is passive, so you have hired folks, you own the firm. You don't have to do anything, but collect income. It's still risky. Whatever you consult on might not be relevant in a decade in which case you must work to pivot or income goes to $0. Good luck, you will figure it out. Think through it.
