I worked for a company that had this, and for the most part everyone was fine with it, my boss included. We just had to make sure we had coverage, etc. It also puts pressure on the employee not to abuse it. I didn't work with people that took an excessive amount of time off anyway, as people still took whatever 'normal" PTO they would have (a day here and there, extending a holiday weekend an extra day, one or two small vacations, etc).
It can be okay. But in most companies it turns out people take less leave if it's "unlimited" due to peer- and self-pressure.
"Use it or lose it" tends to get people to use the most because you're losing out on part of your benefits package. It being paid out instead of actually "losing it" is a nice middle ground but also results in less leave being taken.
