Would you choose a PhD advisor who gives you complete freedom but almost no guidance? [D]

It’s an ML PhD with secure funding for 4–5 years and a senior, respected advisor. You get almost complete freedom to choose your own topics, projects, and collaborations, with very little micromanagement. The downside is that the advisor is also very hands-off. You should expect little guidance, feedback, or technical input. In practice, you would mostly be on your own. Would you see that as a dream setup because of the freedom, or as a dealbreaker because of the lack of mentorship?
