Any thoughts from homeschoolers?

It wouldn't be allowed in many states.  Such states require, among other things, a minimum number of days of instruction, following (to a greater or lesser extent depending on the state) traditional core subjects such as English, math, and science, with records kept of what is studied, and many states require standardized testing.  It would have to be an awfully education-rich household for such things to be imparted organically without some sort of plan.

For some unknown reason, my son was reading, and understanding what he read, before he turned three years old.  One day, without prompting, he was reading aloud, of all things, the safety label on a set of gas burners for our fireplace (it's not connected to propane and we've never used it).  Another time, he had a set of wooden letters laid out on the floor and, again, without prompting, spelled... "Quebec".  He's never had the slightest problem reading anything that is put in front of him, and he has always been a prodigious writer.  I mention this because, I suppose, a child could self-educate organically, but such education would inevitably have gaps, some of them crucial ones.

As to record-keeping and curriculum, I created a plan that fulfilled all of our state's requirements, and graded in accord with state standards.  My son's quarterly grade reports and high school transcript (both of which I designed myself) are indistinguishable from those of a public or private day school, you would have to be told that it is from a home school.  I couldn't find any record-keeping tools on the market that did what I wanted to them to do, so I just made my own using a spreadsheet program.  Again, you would have to be told.

I've read that you should make your transcript clear that it's a homeschool so as to avoid the thought that it might be from a diploma mill.

I rejected unschooling because it doesn't follow the time-tested trivium method of learning.  I used my state's high school graduation requirements to design the program and made sure all criteria were met.  Everything else was an elective and my kids all graduated with 22+ extra credits.  And started college/trade school early.  

In Arizona 1992-2005, homeschooled with SETON Program. I just regret not homeschooling sooner.  I did not know sooner, and the damage done is so bad in public schools!  Our children took the GED and kept going.  One age 50 practically runs the place for Insurance for small groups, another to point of being a nurse, died, and another cares for a hospitals supplies on hand, and son drives the over loads, long bed trucks delivering materials to make homes.

Some people like to know how kids turn out.  Dr. David Allen White, RIP, reminded homeschoolers, please continue, because the youth sent to the Naval Academy are not reading well. We have to give them remedial before we can continue teaching.  Parent, even if you play cards with your children, they are learning!  Homeschool!

A very few children might benefit from an unschooling approach at certain times and for certain subjects. I speak here of children with learning disabilities, developmental delays, certain traits of autism, etc. Total and complete unschooling is not good for most children because of the lack of structure. Children need to work within a structure of some sort else they grow up with chaos. Even a cursory reading of the Creation in Genesis reveals God using a structure to create the world from chaos. Even should unschoolers form their own structures, it is liable to leave a person without balance. If I’d had my way as a school child, I’d have studied reading and writing, but not grammar, and only certain topics and authors. Given my choice of languages, I’d have chosen Latin and Hebrew, but neither was offered. I’d have taken lots of history, specifically, Western History, Christian/Church History, Logic, Basics of Philosophy, Ethics, American Civics, Arithmetic, Business math and finance, maybe year one Algebra, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Gardening, Animal husbandry, Music Theory and Appreciation, Art, Art History and Appreciation, Art technique, A lot more practical classes such as what used to be called Home Economics, cooking, sewing, fiber arts, basic home and auto repair, woodworking, masonry, engineering, wilderness survival. 
Many of these topics were never touched upon in 13 years of public education. I graduated knowing more about Communism than any other form of government. I read Hegel, Locke, Kant, Hume, Voltaire, Marx, even Alinsky, as in Rules for Radicals. In college, I read these again plus more and worse! So far as classical literature, we didn’t read it, or not much! Perhaps I would have done well with unschooling, only problem is, as a young child, I’d have read little but Eleanor Estes, Carolyn Haywood, and the original Nancy Drew mysteries. Arithmetic, after the very basics, I wouldn’t have bothered at all. I wasn’t terribly interested in cooking, just licking the icing off the whisk! I much preferred sewing, needle craft, climbing trees, playing in the brook, catching toads, crayfish, spiders, snails, earthworms, inchworms, and at the beach, buckets full of fiddler crabs for playthings. Once I caught a blue skink lizard and it ‘accidentally” got loose in the living room. (Talk about chaos!) 
Kids these days, unschooling will probably consist of TikTok, social media, video games.
