The only way provisional works is if your survival (food, health insurance) is not tied to having a job at all times. Once you're past 26 and can't be on your parent's insurance it's a total non-starter in the USA.
This is an underrated point. Healthcare especially is tied directly to employment in the US and basically kills this idea all by itself without major reform away from employer provided health care.
I think it might actually be a good thing for both employers and employees if health care, housing, and food access was secure enough to give people the freedom to take six month internships, but I have no idea how we get there from here.
