I can't recall anyone that was recovered from being a Borg begging to go back. In fact quite the opposite.
It wasn't like the Nexus where everyone agreed it was better even after the fact.
Seven of nine, Heugh, the kids, I seem to Recall Picard saying it was p nice just not for him. I know everyone reported not liking thr process but the actual state of it has been reported as being mostly pleasant but It has been a while since I seen the episodes.
