It might be fun to watch but in my experience if the players and the DM are that out of sync its gonna be a bad experience for everyone playing cause at some point the DM is gonna be forced to railroad you back on track if only cause they don't have any material in the direction you want to go. The best games and DMs I have are basically more complicated versions of "Yes And".

DnD with no character sheets is my favorite way to get kids into TTRPG's. Make it all up as you go along. Roll with whatever stupid bullshit they come up with, and throw something even stupider back at them. Write it all down. THEN we make the character sheets, after a couple sessions.
e: Anyway, this is why one of my son's friends mains a wizard with tons of air magic. Because he's a fart wizard.
