It will feel similar to a 28/9 gearing but will wear out significantly faster.

25/9 now so hears the backround about this, im getting a new back wheel really cheap on monday but its a 11t im not gonna run a 25/11 and i found a 8t driver for $37 with shipping and a 9t will be $54 with shipping on dands and theres a 10t for $55 so im kinda broke and trying to save money and i feel this is a good way but i have to sacrifice a harder gear ratio so do yall think its worth it now?
Ya go for it if you need to save some cash!

I ran 25/8 for over two years. Zero wear on the sprocket and never had an issue with my chain or driver. Just make sure you have a heavy duty (KMC 410H, 510HX, etc.), 7075 sprocket, and a driver with needle bearings. My set up was Profile Spline Drive 25t, KMC 410H, Primo Remix 8t.

i have a newish sprocket and chain its a mission nexus sprocket honestly i love the look and its strong to never had a problem with it and i have the mechanic (spelling) lol hollow half link that seems to be nice for me for about 3 months or so now and the driver isnt bearings its bushings so i should be alright, right?
Go for it, you can get much higher too speeds.
You say BMX is your life but you barely ride.
BUT hey, That's none of my business.
