I don’t see the appeal to leave a leadership role. It seems like you’d be taking many steps back career-wise. I personally would only do it if I thought layoffs were coming on the bigger client account.
Additionally, being a one person team means you’ll basically be flipping proverbial burgers—the client places an order, you deliver. Doesn’t seem like that would be feasible long term. Also high likelihood of poor work life balance if you’re a one (wo)man show.

What are the risks you are concerned about exactly? That the new client basically wants a UX/UI designer to just take orders and crank out designs in a pure production capacity?

OP if you do get a chance to "interview" this client they will likely paint a rosy picture. The risk is that the client will really want you, then the consultancy you work for will be put in a tough spot, which may end up with you getting assigned to this account. So unless there is something you really want put of the assignment - it's high profile, great brand/company, cutting edge work - I would probably stay on your current assignment and defer doing the interview. Unless you know you are like one of four candidates being interviewed by this client, then the consultancy has some wriggle room.
