Yes, but please be aware that sick leave here is nearly unlimited, and you get your full salary (for several months), so of course there needs to be some control on it.
Unlimited isn’t worth very much if it’s subject to approval. I’ve had friends get unlimited time off (not sick leave, vacation time) and they end up using less of it than me due to the approval step and related social norms.
I’m not saying your situation is like that, I’m just saying I’m skeptical of offers like that.
My setup is 3.5 weeks PTO, 3x/week WFH, and I can WFH those other days if I need to (pretty flexible, just requires notice, not approval). So I end up taking 2-3 days off sick, and the other 3 weeks are vacation, and I usually take them 1-2 weeks at a time. Hours worked also aren’t tracked, we just need to hit deliverables every two weeks based on our own estimates.
So yeah, I’ll take the bird in the hand over the two in the bush.
