Just a personal thought.
It does not show up on CV or experience letter usually. So unless the company goes out of their way to communicate with your next company. Or it comes out in ref check.
I have seen people taking sabbatical but then they were staying in company for long time. So a sabbatical taken 3 years ago is less relevant than sabbatical taken 3 months back when searching for next job.
Final thought, if the next company takes negative view for taking sabbatical for geniune reason, do you really want to join such company?
