You’ll still be able to reference the company after you have left. I’ve always left my jobs before finding another. Providing there is a market available and adequate funds I would recommend anyone to do it.
After a short period of regaining your breathe and what purpose you had before you started then you will start to work on marketing yourself - GitHub profile/LinkedIn/meeting with a few recruiters...
You’re situation will probably remain the same until you jump. But you have to do the jumping, is my experience.
I would advise to never leave your job before having another signed offer, to be honest.
And honestly in our field (software) it just takes a few weeks to sign a new offer. Plenty of opportunities out there.
Depends a bit on the location though - but in certain EU countries it's not a good idea to have a gap in your employment, as it is used to calculate your holidays and retirement savings.

I have not heard of something like that.
Sure the more month you have worked the more you paid into the retirement insurance, but a couple of months won't make a difference.
Not sure which employer would give you less holidays either.
