Yeah, this isn't a well thought out idea. It would be cool at first (novelty like someone mentioned), but the common infected are next to useless as you'd have even less HP than a boomer (which is a measly 50) and can only do ~2 damage per swipe. Players would be warped in and out of common infected so fast and frequent players would complain more about the disorientation and epileptic seizures than being too ADHD for their own good.

What would be better is if they allowed you to run around as a ghost like pre-spawn right after you die instead of a locked on cam. That way you could use the time to better monitor the situation, get into position and plan your next attack before the 30 secs is up, although it might make the zombie side a little too powerful.
Free look does this...make sure you enable it in your settings and then just press space bar to toggle it.

you can already toggle through viewing
all the players from a 3rd person orbit when waiting to respawn, a free look option doens't give any incredibly huge advantage.
Besides, both sides can do it - if a survivor dies he/she can toggle through the players or use free look to help his/her team. Heck, if one player does die well before the end the chances are already drastically reduced that the remaining 3 survive, even with that advantage.
