Time off during stub year

Is it madness for a stub year associate to ask for time off? I am an incoming associate at a V10, but I've been working part time for this firm since 3L fall. I've had a trip booked since 2020 that's been postponed multiple times due to COVID, and I can only use the plane tickets through the end of 2021. I've tentatively scheduled it for the first week of December, but have no idea whether getting the time off is feasible. Any thoughts?

Never take vacation, but tell mid levels you will be working remote from “x”.

Bizarre advice that all but guarantees you a shitty time. Email your deal teams and say you are out of pocket for a trip that has been planned since pre-pandemic. Everyone can get over it, and if you want to be a partner, nobody is remembering how 10 years prior, as a stub, you took a vacation.

Go on the trip. Tell people it was planned for before the pandemic. No one is going to care. You will be so new it probably won't affect people at all.

Bad advice. Take the vacation for real.

almost certainly going to be slow for you unless you get staffed on an end of year closing or something like that
just let people know and take the time off.
