That’s a big no.

If the newish company doesn’t offer benefits then the pay is not close to the same. Your current job is pay, plus what they pay for insurance, plus what your coverage pays for medical bills.

I haven't read any other comments. The experience of leading ops in a small business, from handling HR issues to making varied decisions, can be invaluable. You can always return to sales, with good business/leadership experience under your belt.
You're young and capable...take a risk, but I suggest negotiating for at least health insurance or a reasonable cost-sharing or allowance for it...and have a strategy for continuing to save money.

Without reading responses, this is literally the easiest of these bullshite posits. No. No do not do that. There is no pecuniary gain and you gave no reason to believe that you could earn or make more with this no benefit startup.

Managing well paid professionals is hard enough at times, I couldn't imagine managing people who are okay with no benefits.

Go for door #3. It sounds like you want to change, but switching to a small company with no benefits doesn't sound like a good move. I would personally turn this down but continue to look for something else. Find the best of both worlds instead of settling for something that could end up costing you big time. This is not an either/or situation.
Also, unless you are making baller money, your wife needs to get a job at least until you have children (which you need insurance for!). She needs to make sure she has worked enough to qualify for social security benefits in the future and she also needs to think about the three Ds (death, divorce, disability). I was a stay at home mom for a few years, but we had planned for it financially and there was a planned end date. I don't oppose staying at home with kids, but you are being forced to work a job you obviously don't like while she is staying at home. That is not an equal burden and may eventually lead to resentment on your end.

Deal breaker. With everything going on in the world right now I’d be very cautious before going into a situation with no benefits.

I would do it, but you also can be a jerk somtimes to people on the rant, so I'm not sure if I'm taking your best interests to heart.

Starting pay would be basically the same.
Dude, respectfully, frick that. This would be a terrible move.
I work in tech and get hit up for opportunities like this all the time. I’ve stayed at my much more stable company, while I’ve watched many friends leave for opportunities like this. 90% are looking for another job within 12 months.
The most common feedback I’ve heard from friends who left for opportunities like this and became unhappy was something to the effect of, “they didn’t have their shite together, there were no SOPs, it was a complete clusterfrick.”
If the pay is the same, go with the more stable company.
IMO, the only thing worth sacrificing stability for is if a very new company offers you a shite ton of equity and you think there’s a strong chance they’ll either go public or be acquired.
Good luck

I like the owner well and we seem to have similar views and thought processes about the future direction of the company.
Sadly this usually turns out like a hideous Lifetime movie. Almost always start out great. Then in the near future some slight disagreements. Then turns into major difficulties, followed by firings, lawsuits, acrimony, strife, etc.

That is a MAJOR fricking con.
