Would I be mad to consider this change of job?

Been offered an interview for a job and have no idea whether I even want to go for it. I've been unhappy in my current job for a while BUT I know it inside out and have total flexibility 're working times and WFH. If DS is ill or on school holidays I can WFH without taking holiday or losing pay. I'm not a skiver, I work bloody hard because I reward their flexibility with loyalty and work ethic in return. I get 7 weeks holiday. Company profits are NOT good since pandemic and supply chain issues so it's not necessarily safe.
New job would be a lot more money (% wise, from non-manager to manager) which would make a massive difference to us (approx 300-400 per month after deductions), as we only just covering bills at the moment, and a big step up so would challenge me as opposed to current job which is only a challenge due to there not being enough of us. It's the kind of company that would find it difficult to lose money/profitability so it would feel a good long term prospect. I have no idea yet what their stance is on hours, flexibility etc, but I do know it's 2 weeks less holiday.
I'm peri-menopausal though so I'm terrified of learning a new job, getting it wrong, getting fired and losing everything all because I wanted a change. BUT is that the menopause talking, sapping my confidence and making me catastrophise? Or should I try to get on track with HRT, diet etc and apply for jobs once I feel a bit more stable?
