I know, that's what I would do! The hardest part about freelancing is the roller coaster ride, so I think having some stability would be great.

If you're good and have a good client base, freelancing full time is definitely the most lucrative. However that often can take years to achieve.
A freelance/full-time mix is probably a situation that works best for people who have been out for a few years, or who have kids or other interests they want to dedicate time to. Most of my hires tend to be fresh out of art school though, so I guess they want to jump into the studio life full-time. As much as we like to think Millennials are all hip and mobile, many of them just want a traditional work schedule.
